I'm so confused
I've had my blood test results back today and am more than a little confused about my cholesterol levels...I've read a lot on HDL/LDL and Triglyceride etc on the forum but can't find these results on my print out...instead I have the following.
Serum Cholesterol - 6.5 mmol/L
Serum HDL cholesterol level - 1.7 mmol/L
Se non HDL cholesterol level - 4.8 mmol/L
While it also states next to these results 'Normal - No action' I was of the understanding that total cholesterol should be under 5...so surely 6.5 is really bad? Does this mean I need to reconsider my LCHF diet? I have an appointment tomorrow to discuss some of my other blood results...hoping someone can help me line up a few more questions to ask in regards to this result.
Thanks in advance
