Wow! Thank you for sharing this - I feel a bit better about my score of 11 now! I also put it down to substantial and sudden weight loss but I was rather hoping it wold have settled down a bit by now. Maybe Im just too impatient.

I’ll report back - my next result bloods next Friday and results about a week after - I await drs comments with interest! Hoping it may have settled downwards a bit more but who knows! My drop from 13 to 8 though did not include increasing my carbs I was keto and remain keto so think weight loss was main reason.
 
I'd be interested to hear what your results are, if you don't mind sharing. Fingers crossed it goes well for you.
 
These are mine:



I always used Hughcalc, but this is a snappier presentation.

They do a cholesterol test with full breakdown at our local pharmacy, on request for £16!
Which pharmacy is that? I gather Lloyd’s do one for £15 and both sets of figures are given out.

Our local one is Day Lewis.
 
Okay thanks. I don’t think we have one of those up here.


I will give Lloyds Pharmacy a whirl when I get a chance.
They're probably all much the same. They're nice in our pharmacy though - very approachable.

I see they are down south of the Ribble and in the Liverpool area. A bit too far for me. There are a couple of Lloyd’s Pharmacies around here. I wanted to get it done yesterday but couldn’t find the time.
