My cholesterol

BABSY · 06-12-2009, 04:57 PM

cholesterol 173

Triglyceride 68

HDL 102

LDL 57

cholesterol/HDL 1.7

But my t3 uptake is high at 37.8?

I googled it and it said that if the others are normal then its ok?

My doctor blames it on the alcohol consumption.

What do you mean "blames"? A high HDL is considered a GOOD thing. Do you hve these numbers independent of any medication? I ask because your LDL is exceptionally low.

I know its a good thing, I was just being funny. No I am not on any meds.

alcohol is supposed to raise the HDL. Especially wine. But, I was drinking more rum and diet rite.

If you exercise alot that will increase the rating - at least that is what my physician told me of my reading... Mine was around your reading too
