I had my DN 6 monthly review today, and got the results of my cholesterol test:

Total: 5.4

non HDL: 3.9

serum cholesterol/HDL ratio: 3.6

LDL: 3.3

HDL: 1.52

Trigs: 1.3

Please can anyone tell me what this all means, and if it is good or not?

that link is just a converter to different rate. I am looking for interpretation of how good or bad the results are.

Yep pretty much all ideal
Trigs/HDL is 0.855 which is good and so far as I know the one that really matters.. less than 1 is good. Less than 0.87 is great...

They look very good to me. Well done. @bulkbiker is spot on with the Trigs/HDL ratio being the important one.
