I had not done any lipid panels because, as my doctor said, "what's the point if you won't take the statins?" But I did go in last week and get the lab work done because I needed to see if there was an improvement WITHOUT any adverse reaction with my a1C. My goal is to get my Triglycerides/HDL ratio below 2.0. Right now it is at about 2.35. We'll check back in 3 months!FWIW:Total Chol = 231LDL = 160HDL = 48Tri = 113I'm not sure if the US has different numbering system for cholesterol. But I do believe that the entire cholesterol subject is much more complicated than we are being told, regardless of which side of the pond.</blockquote>
