So I went and had blood tests yesterday (call me a wuz). As expected, I have no idea what the numbers mean. I'd really appreciate it if you guys could give me a heads up before I go to see the doctor. (His office has already called to get me to make an appointment.)

Hours After Meal 7 Hours
Triglyceride 1.42 mmol/L
Cholesterol 7.29 mmol/L
HDL Cholesterol 1.54 mmol/L
Non HDL Cholesterol 5.75 mmol/L

Non HDL-Cholesterol is not affected by the fasting status of the patient.

LDL Cholesterol 5.10 mmol/L

LDL-C calculation is decreased if fasting < or = 10 hours. Consider the Non HDL-C value as an alternate lipid target if monitoring treatment in intermediate or high risk patients.

Cholesterol/HDL Cholesterol 4.7
Lipid Target Values Lipid Target Values should be based on patient 10 year CVD risk Assessment.

! High or Intermediate CVD risk
-----------!-----------------------------------
Primary ! LDL-C < or = 2.0 mmol/L OR Tx target ! > or = 50% decrease in LDL-C
!
Alternate ! Non HDL-C < or = 2.6 mmol/L OR Tx target ! ApoB < or = 0.8 g/L
-----------!-----------------------------------
! Low CVD risk
-----------!-----------------------------------
Primary !> or = 50% decrease in LDL-C Tx target !
-----------------------------------------------
