Do you know what your levels are ? Have you looked at your trigs/HDL ratio ?

Historically, my total cholesterol has never been higher than 4.8 mmol/l (186 mg/dl)
In September, I had:
cholesterol 21.5 mmol/l (831 mg/dl)
HDL 3.1 mmol/l (120 mg/dl)
LDL 16.8 mmol/l (650 mg/dl)
triglycerides 3.5 mmol/l (310 mg/dl)
Then the following in October:
Cholesterol 22.1 mmol/l (854 mg/dl)
HDL 3.2 mmol/l (124 mg/dl)
LDL 17.9 mmol/l (692 mg/dl)
triglycerides 2.3 mmol/l (204 mg/dl)
Today, I found out that my HDL is stable at 3.0 mmol/l, trigs have dropped even further (can't remember the exact number - 1.5 maybe?), and LDL has fallen dramatically to 12.5 mmol/l. Although this LDL number is above what 'conventional' medicine deems acceptable, from what I've read, the TG:HDL ratio is more important, and LDL is nothing to worry about. And I'm optimistic that it may fall further in time.
My HbA1c has fallen to 46 mmol/l, which is lower than it's ever been my entire life.
