Good afternoon and thank you @Bluetit1802 and @13lizanne my friends its all the cholesterol numbers is my combined cholesterol 4.5 I don't understand HDL/ LDL.

 

[Bluetit1802]

Yes, your total cholesterol is 4.5.
The total cholesterol is the total of HDL + LDL + 46% of the triglycerides (UK measurements)

HDL is the good cholesterol that sweeps away the bad cholesterol (simply speaking). The higher the number the better.
LDL can be bad cholesterol. The lower the better.
Triglycerides are the very bad ones and need to be as low as possible.

If you enter your numbers in this calculator, it may help you.

Congratulations! Looking at your cholesterol, your triglycerides are brilliant but your HDL (the good cholesterol) could be higher. I am no expert, but I think one of the main ways to raise HDL is by exercising. The low triglycerides are presumably due to your low carb intake.
