[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1632584, member: 94045"] Hi, The total is HDL + LDL + 46% of the triglycerides. It is the HDL (good cholesterol - the higher the better) and the triglycerides (the ones that need to be as low as possible) that are important. Was the test a fasting one? If not, next time you need to fast whether they tell you to or not. Your triglycerides will be raised if you don't fast. If you have any existing heart or stroke issues, it is a different matter.
