[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2385683, member: 451727"] I do accept that NICE would need to decide what is 'normal' overall but the figures they come up with are based on the average cholesterol levels of everyone, I don't think any allowances are made for the individual relative to DNA or ethnicity (sometimes included) or a difference in physiology. Why is '4' the magic number I wonder, my HDL alone takes up 2.4 of that! I think GPs etc are at least discussing the subject when you challenge them and they know they can't force you anyway, but why record the ratios (a much better way of deciding) if there is this blank policy of 'You must take them anyway'.
