Oh my goodness Jack, thank you so much. I had no idea you could do that calculation. I think my good (HDL) cholesterol is a bit low? But thank goodness the trigs are ok. I will have a chat with the GP Wednesday about it all. She is one of the few excellent ones... told me to come in on a Saturday so we could have a proper chat in a longer appointment without her being rushed, mind you I couldnt make it hence the Wednesday double appointment lol!

You are indeed a legend x

I've reduce my statin a bit more to get my total up, low carb is the best for trigs and higher HDL they say
