[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 2326553, member: 429870"] I didn't fast this time, as my GP team don't recommend it and automaticaly put "not fasting" on the form if I don't catch them in time. Fasting can make me feel quite ill, but I am determined to do it next time. That said, one argument for a non-fasting test is that nowadays we are rarely in a fasted state, so our cholesterol after having eaten fairly recently is actually more realistic! Sadly, when I ate a very high carb Mediterranean style diet my trigs were vanishingly low. I was proud of them! They went up when I began eating low carb. (I am keeping under 30g carbs daily, with quite high protein.) My GP would like me to get my total cholesterol down. (I would like this too.) He seemed surprised when I pointed out that if I managed to raise my HDL that too would contribute to a high Total score. [/QUOTE]
