Default Cholesterol levels went up

Hi all,

I've been doing low carb for something over a year. Just for heck I asked my nurse practitioner to check my cholesterol levels. The nurse just called me & wants me to come in to talk to the practitioner because the results were really high:

Total: 460 (should be less than 200, she said)
Triglycerides: 48 (should be less than 150)
HDL: 110 (should be more than 40)
LDL: 340 (should be less than 130)

The last time it was checked (maybe 2 years ago) the values were in the normal/good range.

Has anyone had anything like this happen? Any thoughts?

Thanks, Beth
