[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 346294, member: 11028"] Hi Carole, As you had a fasting blood check back in December you can ask the gp practise for a full lipid breakdown, here are the recommended target levels for people with diabetes: 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. [/QUOTE]
