What is your latest cholesterol level?


Interesting you say that. Got my cholesterol down to 5 from 5.6 couple of weeks back but my T'gs have gone up to 6.9 but it was an Hba1c test so not fasting and they didn't say they were going to do a full bloods. I can remember last year they were 8.2 so had another test only 3 weeks later and they were 2.5 which was surprising. I'm talking to GP again re my rising hba1c on Monday and will mention what a lot of you say about statins. I find it interesting doctors talk a lot about cholesterol but never mention calcium score when it comes to arteries!
 
My total cholesterol around 12 years ago when I was following the Eatwell Plate recommendations was 7.9.

My subsequent ones whilst following carb have reduced to around 6.5.

My most recent one whilst following keto for a month, which for me has meant <30g carbs and >100g fat, was 4.9. This was non fasting (the previous ones were all fasting ones) and I have never taken statins. The fat I consumed was mainly from butter, cream, cheese, nuts, lard and coconut.
