I have the results of my full chlesterol and lipid panel and would just like a little help understanding them please:
triglycerides - 1.8, (down from 4)
LDL - 7.1 (up from 4.6)
HDL - 1.70 (up from 1.5)
total cholesterol divided by HDL total :- 9.6 / 1.7 = 5.6 (Should be below 5)
The triglycerides and HDL I think are OK but the LDL needs some encouragement in the downward direction. The changes have all taken place since November last year when I was first diagnosed T2 and since starting on LCHF in January this year. Any comments would, as always be much appreciated.
