Shelly,

I think your cholesterol levels are great. Your triclycerides are very low and you HDLs are acceptable. Your ratio of Triglyceries to HDL is fantastic.

The high LDL level is of no concern. LDLs can be either good or bad, depending upon their particle size. Large (fluffy) LDLs are good, while small dense LDLs are bad. In general, if triglycerides are low, then LDLs are fluffy and healthy.

Enjoy your continued health.
