Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bluetit1802" data-source="post: 2183055" data-attributes="member: 94045">The only thing missing from your cholesterol/lipid profile is your LDL, but that is calculated rather than measured, and according to <a href="http://www.hughcalc.org/chol-si.php" target="_blank">http://www.hughcalc.org/chol-si.php</a> your calculated LDL is 3.29, which the "Powers that be" say should be under 3, so not bad.The only one that is risky is your low HDL (good cholesterol). As carbs are known to diminish the HDL in some people, reducing your carb intake could sort this.Your triglycerides are perfect, and those are the baddies, so well done on that score. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />The ratio that matters is the trigs/HDL and yours is 1.1. This should preferably be under 1.74, and ideally under 0.87. This of course can be improved by increasing the HDL.[USER=219467]@bulkbiker[/USER]  has already explained your HbA1c by saying it puts you at the top end of the pre-diabetic range. Had it been 48 rather than 47 you would have had a diabetes diagnosis.Try this  <a href="https://cholesterolcode.com/new-report-tool-launched/" target="_blank">https://cholesterolcode.com/new-report-tool-launched/</a>Hope this helps.</blockquote>
