My total cholesterol is now over 200 and up a whooping 48 points from my last test (WTF?!?), and my LDL is up 40 points to 124, though still within normal range, which is under 130. However, my HDL is up another 8 points to 82, so my HDL/cholesterol ratio, while higher than last time, is still in the low risk range at 2.6, with anything under 3.5 considered ideal. The doctor said she had never seen HDL so high and so was unconcerned about the total being a little high. Triglicerides once again remained stable (and very low) at 38. My fasting glucose was 88.
