[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2412371, member: 365308"] I'm in the same position (low trigs/high hdl) with high total cho. Mine's 4.8 btw with hdl 2.7 trig 0.7 Had the same chat with my consultant who went through the motions re the lipid lowering but agreed that my ratio is very good and given my lack of other risk factors I am not at high risk of heart disease. Or maybe he was just not interested enough to argue back! It felt like a box ticking exercise. On this basis I won't get a calcium score done or further particle analysis. I believe I've got lots of large fluffy particles rather than the more damaging small dense ones. I think my blood glucose levels are likely to be more of a risk since I'm not insulin resistant, so anything I can do to get them under 7.0 such as eating much less carb is a good idea from my POV.
