[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 1273086, member: 11028"] Hi [USER=46489]@Jennifer78[/USER] Ideally you should ask for a full lipid breakdown of your cholesterol....especially if you have a family history of familial hypercholesterolaemia. The following are the target cholesterol levels that they want people with diabetes to aim for: [LIST] [*]Your total cholesterol level should be below 4.0mmol/l. [*]LDL levels should be less than 2.0mmol/l. [*]HDL levels should be 1.0mmol/l or above in men and 1.2mmol/l or above in women. [*]Triglyceride levels should be 1.7mmol/l or less. [/LIST] [URL]https://www.diabetes.org.uk/Guide-to-diabetes/Monitoring/Testing/[/URL] If possible try and lose any excess weight and up your exercise, both are said to help improve and maintain cholesterol levels but it may be difficult if you have FH, worth a try anyway.
