I picked up my latest lipid results today,
TC 5.1
HDL 1.57
TC/HDL 3.2
Trigs 0.7
LDL 3.21
I was really happy, especially with the trigs.
However, there was a note from the GP, 'please discuss'. Apparently not happy with the TC!
I don't think I need his input on this one.

Poor grammar, bullying and drunks.
What a slam dunk! Well done.

Note from patient, please explain this. It shows the cholesterol levels of people having had a CVE. Seems to increase in number after 5.4 (if my memory serves me well). It also increases as you go below that, almost suggesting 5.4 is the optimum.

Looking at my results with my DN, I said "Oh! my total cholesterol has gone up", she said "We don't worry about that anymore we go by the ratios". I don't know how HCPs get updated but it does seem to happen, just painfully slowly.

They go on courses. Or at least mine does. She knows more about cholesterol and lipids than all of us on here put together.

People that can't listen to other people's opinions.
People that can't say sorry.
