[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 127234, member: 11028"] I agree with MaryChristine about the confusion with your hba1c, and a reading of 6 is below target levels. The cholesterol readings are mixed bag, a LDL reading of 5.8 is quite high, and a HDL reading of 2.0 is very good. The recommended cholesterol target numbers are: HDL-1mmoI/I or above for men; 1.2 or above for women LDL-below 2mmoI/I Triglycerides-equal to or below 1.7mmoI/I Total cholesterol-below 4mmoI/I Here is some good information from the British Heart Foundation about cholesterol: [url=http://www.bhf.org.uk/Keeping_your_heart_healthy/preventing_heart_disease/cholesterol.aspx]http://www.bhf.org.uk/Keeping_your_hear ... terol.aspx[/url] [url=http://www.bhf.org.uk/keeping_your_heart_healthy/top_tips_for_keeping_healthy/tips_to_cut_the_saturated_fat.aspx]http://www.bhf.org.uk/keeping_your_hear ... d_fat.aspx[/url] Nigel [/QUOTE]
