So, I realise this may not be an often asked question, but what counts as too low cholesterol, I know some of you know a lot more about this than me.
Mine has dropped down (I am not on statins so it's done it without any intended medical help), so my results are:

I realise it doesn't have triglycerides or all that stuff, they don't do that by default here (and given I've had two blood draws in the last week I don't want another anytime soon)
So yeah, what is too low?

If you aren't taking anything to lower it artificially then yours should be at a level your body is happy with.
Fasted pre bloods or not?

Wasn't fasting, it was sometime in the afternoon.
My cholesterol has always been fairly low, the highest I've seen over the past 8 years or so is 3.7 total
