I've just had my first diabetic clinic appointment in over 3 years (yes covid etc, now it's closed again for boosters). In that time my sugars are up and I need to deal with that. This post is about cholesterol. I'm in Northern Ireland and we don't even have the NHS - it's health and social care. I used to understand my cholesterol levels but in the 3 years since I was last tested they are different. Now says Serum HDL, Non HDL and LDL. (used to be just HDL and LDL). I know I've seen serum HDL mentioned on here before and I hadn't a clue what you were talking about. Can someone please in layman's terms explain Serum HDL, Non HDL and LDL. What of these do I need to know?
Thanks for reading.
