Cholesterol test results

Hi,
Welcome to the ehealthforum and I am really glad to help you out. I can understand the cause of concern and the confusion you are going through.

Firstly, your HDL (good) cholesterol levels are very good. This shows that you are regularly exercising for exercise makes the HDL cholesterol levels go up.

As per the guidelines, the LDL cholesterol should be less than 100 mg/dl in the presence of diabetes or the past history of coronary artery disease or at least 2 risk factors out of the following: chronic smoker, family history of Coronary artery disease, abdominal obesity.

If you don’t have 2 risk factors out of the above, then you don’t need to take the medication. Moreover, the total cholesterol: HDL ratio is < 3 which is a very good sign.

Moreover, the LDL: HDL ratio is less than 1.5. Hence, in view of these, you don’t need to take any medication. Your blood sugar is also absolutely fine. Just follow the healthy lifestyle.

Avoid sugary foods, oily stuff, increase the green salads, briskly walk at least 45 min daily. I sincerely hope this information helps. Take care.
