[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2292896, member: 345386"] Rhyia - My Total cholesterol is always what my former GP and I agreed is an "inconveniently large number". At first she used to get uptight about it, but as "we" learned more about the breakdown, she changed her views. My highest total, to date, since my T2 has been in a good place, was 8.1. At that point, my GP wanted to refer me to the Lipid Clinic, even though she understood my breakdowns were very good,for a specialist opinion and further testing to rule in or our familial hypercholesterolaemia. I was just going overseas for a couple of months, so we deferred the referral until I got beck. At that retest, I had trimmed back to a TC of 7.4, which took me out of the bracket where she felt the need to refer me on. In your shoes, I would ask for a referral, prior to considering anything further, but how you tackle it is up to you. [/QUOTE]
