My total levels are 7.5 (HDL 2.45, trigs 0.5, LDL around 5), and as far as I know have been in that range for ever, long before diabetes popped up. I was referred to a Lipidologist and after various DNA tests, they decided I had polygenic Hypercholesterolaemia...meaning it mattered not whether I had cream in my coffee et al, in fact they actually said nobody should be worrying about cholesterol from the food they eat as it's mainly produced by the body to the extent that what you cut out in food is replaced by the body anyway. I find it interesting how they've decided to label me with a 'condition' I didn't know I had and has never affected me in any way so far based on some other person's 'average'.</p></blockquote><p></p>
