Just found out that my triglyceride reading is 1.0

Well, you learn something new every day!! :D

OK, thanks!

So, NFA = No Further Advice?? No idea what NFN means!

I'll give it a go, thanks!

OK, thank you. Need to ask GP what my Triglyceride part was (might take a few days :()

I have no idea what trigs number are . . .

LDL 5.1 HDL 2.4 (non fasting test)

It was a non-fasting test. LDL 5.1 (131mg/dl. HDL 2.4 (62mg/dl) I'm still confused. . . .
