[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 345989, member: 11028"] Jaxx, ask for a full lipid breakdown of your cholesterol from your gp, you will have to fast for 10-12 hours before the test but it will give you a fuller picture of your cholesterol levels. Here are the target recommended cholesterol levels for people living 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. If you want to discuss statins and the risks of high cholesterol and heart disease then the British Heart Foundation is a good place to start, here is their website: [url=http://www.bhf.org.uk/#&panel1-3]http://www.bhf.org.uk/#&panel1-3[/url] [/QUOTE]
