[QUOTE="Elc1112, post: 184420, member: 32988"] [b]Re: Cholesterol[/b] Hi froobes, The national average is around 5.5-5.6. This is above the recommended level. The recommended level is 5.0 total cholesterol with 3.0 LDL (bad cholesterol). More and more doctors are now saying that you should aim for 4.0 with an LDL of 2.0 or less. I have always been told that, being diabetic, it is better to aim for 4.0/2.0. This can be difficult to achieve for a lot of people. Your levels are good, but you may be able to lower it further by making a few simple changes. It is a bit confusing as different health care professionals so seem to quote slightly different figures. My last reading was 4.2 and one doctor told me I had to get it down, another told me it was an excellent level! E [/QUOTE]
