[QUOTE="Snapsy, post: 1576910, member: 265172"] Ditto. Ratios all 'ideal'. LDL 'near optimal'. HDL 'optimal'. Triglycerides 'normal'. Total cholesterol: 'high risk'. Have been summoned to see the practice nurse next week on the strength of my latest results. What I really really really don't understand is that ALL of my individual cholesterol results are within the recommended range for the tests, as shown on the lab printout....... but together my TC is 6.2. I'm in range, according to the [I]individual [/I]HDL and LDL results, being as they are 3.0 and 2.8 (both are supposed to be sub-3, apparently - and yes, LDL should be as low as possible, BUT I'm still within range). I'm wondering how a full complement of test results within range can combine to make a 'high risk' number?! :woot: [/QUOTE]
