well hoppy, i overhauled my diet, according to the doc, i had to cut out any crap, eg eggs, cheese, bacon, sweets, do regular exercise, eat tons of fruit, salads, etc inc brown rice+brown bread. it was that difficult, esp when i had the threat of pills being the alternative!! just means i cant be blase.
anyway fellow baggy, the lads done pretty well last night.
didnt know we had a clear pen turned down at the gooners last week, alex was the culprit.

Your cholesterol wasn't that high to start with - 5.8 in English - but very well done.

hi hc4361, according to the doc, the low cholestol which is the dangerous one should be between 150-200, i was 226, so if i continued, i would be taking pills in the near future. so was this scare tactics?
That LDL level is high...............
Hi, I had a cholesterol level of 11.9 before I went on statins and is now down to around 5.5. After a visit to the doctor a while back he said he was quite happy with that but not with my Triglyceride level which was over 500 so I was put on another tablet for this too. Is this the one you are talking about with the numbers you mention. The doctor told me to cut back on processed foods.
Not at all, piggy, you did the right thing and it's worked for you :)

one more point, i remember my other blood test about 4months ago, and there were 2 important readings to look at, the low+the high cholestrol, well my new blood test reading just gave me my total cholestrol, which was as i said 178. wonder why it changed. surely the readout should contain both the low+the high readings? unless its worded diferently. my doc who i barely understand(my spanish is not that great) did say as i could make out theres nothing to worry about, everything is aok!!
