[QUOTE="CondorX, post: 2214510, member: 505475"] Trig fasting levels should be under 1.2 from memory...0.84 was my last one, which is considered "optimal". If yours was 0.98 I can't imagine what the nurses' problem might be.......HDL is supposedly considered good over 1 for men and 1.2 for women. But the ratios are important - Total Cholesterol / HDL and HDL/LDL ratios. Use an online calculator like the one at hughescalc or cholesterolcode.com - and importantly, don't just believe all the doomsayers on the internet, Lipid Metabolism and interpretation of the levels is an evolving process. Do a lot of your own research - lots of helpful info on this site. [/QUOTE]
