Total cholesterol 202 - Last Year 237

HDL 57, last year 56

LDL 129, last year 144

Triglyerides 77, last yr. 183

my blood sugar was 91, don't know last yr.s

Now why don't the HDL&LDL equal the total #?

Great numbers, Marchbaby! :thup:
Now why don't the HDL&LDL equal the total #?
Because it is worked out by what is called the Friedewald equation:
LDL = Total cholesterol - (HDL + trig/5)

I just worked yours out to be sure, and it works. :)

Congratulations, marchbaby! As great as this WOE makes you feel, it is still good to have clinical confirmation that it also makes you heathier.
