please take a few hours to go through the video's you are going to have 2 leading professors explain it all to you.
perfect for me would be to have your trigs at <1
I also eat cheese like it's going out of fashion ... Love it .. And like you my levels are all brilliant nowYes, I do overdose on cheese because it is calorific and I need the calories. My lipids are perfect (recent test even improved).
LOL...it has the be a fasting test, you would have had dietary trigs hdl and ldlIt wasn't a fasting test so I wonder if that makes a difference.

SJC, these are the target cholesterol levels that they want people with diabetes in the UK to aim for:
- 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.
Hi. I don't know what my trigs are from those results - do I? I am only having around 70 gms of carb a day . I have to eat a lot of fat as weight is dropping off me. My doc is concerned about that as is my dietician. I eat meat, fish or cheese every day to a point. I don't know now how to balance things so my cholesterol goes down. Will need to speak to doc and dietician methinks.

I will say though that I have been in the 5's for overall cholesterol result for the last ten years or more.
are you eating oily fish? Salmon, fresh tuna etc. Tinned salmon is good, tinned tuna not so.
Why is the tinned Tuna not so good Bluetit?are you eating oily fish? Salmon, fresh tuna etc. Tinned salmon is good, tinned tuna not so.
Yes, at least twice a week as a main meal, or lunch with salad, sometimes more. Hate tuna but have salmon and mackerel.
This is just my own opinion. I agree with all you have said here. Personally I think 'they' like cholesterol levels to be too low. I would not take statins with readings like yours. I realise you have had other health issues which you may like to consider too, but cholesterol that is too low is worse than when it is too high.But what is perfect? I keep reading online that cholesterol isn't connected to heart attacks etc. I read yesterday that 75% of people who have heart attacks have 'normal' cholesterol levels.
Why is the tinned Tuna not so good Bluetit?
It comes in all sorts of mediums, from spring water, sunflower oil, brine & Alabore tune in extra virgin olive oil and I think there is a few more now.

I have 4 of those small tins of red salmon a week, plus other sorts of fish (cod normally) a couple of times. I believe this helps my cholesterol.
Given that your Dr has given you more fat to eat, your Dr isn't old school fool
I don't know why doug misrepresents what I say? these are the triglyceride guidelines of a teaching professor and head of a major bloods testing lab
