Delighted With Results, Gp Not

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.

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.
 
Mine are similar to these. Although my TC is nowhere near as sky high as a yours !!*! At 4.9! Did you fast before your test?

Sky high?? I float on clouds on those figures... mine are normally the same although my trigs are less...
TC 5.4 looks fine up on my floaty cloud!!
