[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 1138155, member: 11028"] I had this argument with a practice nurse about 3 years ago, she said that a cholesterol check where they are looking for a full lipid breakdown didn't need to be fasting one, I said she was wrong and on checking with my Endo they said it needed to be a fasting one, mind I'm not sure what the procedure is if it's just for a Total Cholesterol check. Anyway, the following are the target cholesterol levels that they want people with diabetes to be aiming for: [LIST] [*]Your total cholesterol level should be below 4.0mmol/l. [*]LDL levels should be less than 2.0mmol/l. [*]HDL levels should be 1.0mmol/l or above in men and 1.2mmol/l or above in women. [*]Triglyceride levels should be 1.7mmol/l or less.
