    Hi Guys my story is in my signature below. I can not say enough thanks to this wonderful website and its members. Like many of you I arrived like Bambi on ice blinking widely at this new World I was entering not knowing if my life was going to be ravaged by complications and a painful slow death or a quick one. I was determined from day 1 to do my best. That is from someone that was never really that disciplined about anything. All I had was my honest intent and a thirst for knowledge and acceptance of the support and challenge from the wonderful members on this forum. If I can do it guys I am sure you can, Notwithstanding your own individual circumstance. Stick with it and GOOD LUCK

    Thanks @Bluetit1802 i keep reading the printout the nurse gave me. The actual date of the diagnosis test was 14/10/2014 and the date of the retest date was 14/01/2015. Also as you guys said would happen my cholesterol levels have improved i think to;

    tryglycerides are now 1.3 down from 2.1
    cholesterol 4.4 down from 4.6
    LDL 2.9 from 2.8
    HDL 0.95 from 0,88
    Cholesterol/HDL ratio 4.6 from 5.2

    Have you got your HDL and LDL figures the wrong way round?
