Thank you everyone, your replies have put my mind at rest - I must admit, I didn't prepare myself for the fact that the overall number might go up, I really thought it would have gone down due to my change in diet, which has been consistent - no cheats. I really enjoy eating this way - it's for life now. I've made up my mind , if they are offered I won't be taking them up on it. I hope they see the ratios and don't offer statins at all.
@Brunneria it wasn't a fasting test, my doctor said they don't do fasting as not necessary. I would really like to have seen my trigs figure though.
Here's a question - if my trigs have likely gone down to less than 1 does that mean the LDL is the remaining balance - ie over 4? Sorry for ignorance!
Coincidentally I'm reading "The Great Cholesterol Con" and "Cholesterol Clarity" at the moment. I'll check out the other stuff and all the links, thank you for those.
I seriously cannot wait for the tide of advice and opinion on this to finally turn but despair of it being any time soon.
