Hi. I've spoken to some of you previously about cholesterol and was advised that I needed the triglycerides figure not just the non HDL cholesterol level. When I went to the doctors last week I explained this to the lass taking the blood sample but she didn't have a clue what I was talking about. She'd never heard of triglycerides and said she didn't know how to spell it. Anyway I pushed the issue and insisted that she noted that the test was to provide a figure for trigs. As expected the results came back with just the same test figures as before.
There has been quite a change since January and I'd like to invite those of you with more experience and knowledge than me to comment if you would be so kind as this whole high fat living does worry me at times.
I'll start with January's figures.
Serum cholesterol 3.7
Serum HDL cholesterol 1
Serum non HDL cholesterol 2.7
Serum cholesterol/HDL ratio 3.7
31st of May
Serum cholesterol 4.3
Serum HDL cholesterol 0.9
Serum non HDL cholesterol 3.4
Serum cholesterol/HDL ratio 4.8
I know I still don't have a figure for trigs but on the face of it these figures all appear to have worsened.
Any words of wisdom or advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Alan
