What do you think of my #'s? - High Cholesterol Message Board

AngelaNRichard · 02-03-2004, 10:08 AM

These #'s were taken from Oct 2003's reading:

Total: 240
HDL: 69
LDL: 162

Triglyerides: 35
Glucose: 72

I know the LDL is up but, over-all, how does it look?

The reading from Nov of 2001 is listed in my signature, so you can compare #'s

These numbers aren't too bad. Your HDL is good but the LDL needs to come down. It's too high. The LDL needs to be under 130. Trigs are good, sugar too. Hope that helps.
What does you DR say?

My doctor told me not to worry because 1- My age (almost 25).. and I am trying to get pregnant.. He said if I were older (past my child-bearing years) then he would put me on meds and 2- I workout a lot, so I keep my HDL nice and high
