[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 1953915, member: 219467"] Cholesterol levels similar to blood sugar levels can be all over the place. They are certainly not constants and will be up or down depending on what you have eaten what you have done and many other factors. The fact that doctors prescribe life changing (and not usually in a good way) medication based on a snapshot of levels in time seems criminal to me.. That's why its always best to get the test done when fasted so at least your levels are relatively stable in terms of food. .. that's one variable removed. As [USER=408573]@Guzzler[/USER] says women over a certain age exhibit greater longevity with higher total cholesterol levels so I wouldn't worry too much. Not sure how easy it is to get the test redone in NZ but if you can I'd try and get another arranged then let us know the results. In the meantime you might like to delve further by reading this thread..
