I believe HDL should be around 1.4. LDL under 3, yours is just slightly over. What does your GP say? Are you on statins? If you’ve tried everything else maybe statins are the only way forward. Mr Eggy, complex chronic heart condition, takes statins, his total cholesterol is under 4 but he hates being on them, they affect the muscles in his legs and they “ die” on him when we’re out walking long distance or up fells, but after six heart attacks he needs all the help he can get! He eats healthy ( we’ve cut down on red meat and eat more fish now) has never smoked, exercises regularly. He tries not to overthink things, (I do that for him) as worrying definitely doesn’t help. Keep doing what you’re doing, it seems to be working so far.@eggyg
Cholesterol 5.9
Triglycerides 1
HDL 1.78
LDL 3.66
Series Cholesterol/HDL ratio 3.3
Non HDL 4.12
Do these look ok. Anything I should be conccerned about ?
Good luck to both of you, and if you do meet up make sure to take a picture for us at the forum! 🙂thank you all for your good wishes for tomorrow, plan is to try to meet up with Colin at somepoint If we can.
Tail wind guaranteed if I have beans at breakfast!Good morning folks.
5.6 for me this morning but needed 1 JB at 5am to get me there.... I say 5am.... that is when I scanned and saw 3.7 and a thought drifted through my mind that I should reach across to the bedside table and grab a JB .... but before I was able to action it, I had dropped back off to sleep. It was an hour later when I woke again on 3.5 that I actually got the JB and ate it. That is the problem with Libre....far too easy to scan and not really fully wake up..... especially when it is under my pillow. I am not unduly worried about it and I didn't feel headachy or anything when I got up so likely nearer 4 since Libre usually reads a bit lower than BG for me and my body did at least give me a nudge to say I was getting low and needed to to scan so my awareness is still pretty good but it put a naughty red mark on my graph for an hour. TIR is back up to 94% for the past 7 days this morning though so I am not too upset.
Congrats to @Lanny on your House Special today and @MeeTooTeeTwo on your April Fool inspired HS yesterday.
@GRIFFINLONEWALKER Maybe I need an alarm clock like yours! Hard to ignore and go back to sleep when a ball is being dropped in/on your face! Good to see your levels are down a bit today. Hope you and Piper enjoyed your walk. She looks adorable and clearly worships you.... You can see it in her eyes in that first photo.
@Lucyr Hope you start to feel better soon.
@ColinUK and @Grannylorraine Wishing you a tail wind for tomorrow to help get you over the finish line. I am sure the atmosphere will be great and you will have a wonderful time even if it is a bit daunting before hand. I am sure you will both smash it! Good luck!
Note to @Grannylorraine.... run faster than Colin 😉Tail wind guaranteed if I have beans at breakfast!
