[QUOTE="shelley262, post: 1841523, member: 455169"] Agree do ask for full lipid panel as you are having a blood draw done soon and also remember if you do that you’ll need to fast for 12 to 14 hours, water only during that time! On my recent tests I’ve also avoided alcohol during previous two days - not sure if you drink at all - it can I gather affect triglycerides level. At my last not full lipid test in May - my surgery seems to use this as it’s default test - I was shocked to have a total cholesterol of 13.7 but no useful breakdown so I stuck to my guns re statins for me and asked for time and a full lipid panel in August. However I did pay for two interim private full lipid panels so could keep an eye on the ratio and check to see if it was lowering. Good news is that last weeks private test was: Total 7.54 HDL 2.47 Ldl 4.56 Trigs 1.12 Non HDL cholesterol 5.07 RAtio 3.05 As ratio should be less than 4 at least I know that despite the large ldl and highish total cholesterol figure I’m going in right direction! Will see what August brings ....., Good luck with getting this sorted as well as your online results access dreadful that they can deny you access to your results... [/QUOTE]
