[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 2283372, member: 219467"] But that then skews the results as any fats eaten before the test will appear in the blood raising triglycerides (as indeed can be seen in your figures) Whereas before your trigs were low when fasted the most recent test has them higher. As the important ratio for heart disease is Trigs/HDL having elevated trigs due to eating before the blood is taken distorts the reading and thus makes the results pretty meaningless. At least that is what extensive reading of more up to date "science" implies. Your 2019 HDL of 3.0 and trigs (fasted) of 0.7 gives a brilliant ratio of 0.233 Anything under 0.87 is considered exemplary. The most recent gives 3.8/2.8 or a ratio of 1.35 which isn't good but as I said unrepresentative due to being non fasted. My surgery refuses to do a full lipid panel if the subject hasn't fasted beforehand so it's certainly not an NHS wide view. [/QUOTE]
