Hey I had a good result to a cholesterol test today from a promotional product that they had about a butter spread called Test the nation (http://www.testthenation.com.au/Home2.aspx) and the result is LDL 4 and HDL 11 MMOL/L so I am happy. :D

Very good Peter .... I think. Those numbers (of course) don't match anything I recognize in the US. Are they also /18 from what I'm used to or is their another conversion factor? I just got mine back: LDL: 65, HDL: 62, VLDL: 17, Total: 144 My doc was very please with those numbers and said keep it up, so I will. :D

Anyhow, you are already having a great weekend I hope. Have fun and congrats.

G'day Mike :) The day has gone into the evening here and I see saturday in the next 4 hours LOL. I find that the two things that are LDL is the bad number and the HDL is the good number and that's what I care about. So the conversion is thus LDL 72 and HDL 198 so there you are. What is VLDL?

Hmm, it sounds to me like your numbers are more probably HDL of 4 and total cholesterol of 11.

I don't know if it's really possible for the human body to have an HDL of 11/198.

An HDL of 4/72 is a very good result and one to be happy with. If the LDL is 7/126 as I suspect, that's good too although a bit closer to being up in an unfavorable range.

Peter,
VLDL is very-low-density lipoprotein. Sounds bad so I'm glad my number is low. Your HDL is amazing. You must be eating fiber straight from the stalks! :D

Whell that's weird as I do eat grainy bread and I like my porridge in the morning but I also have the naughty stuff too like full fat cheese and bacon and ham.
Am I right that to eat like I do as long the exercise is still on the agenda. I am also on Warfrin wich has some affect. :confused:
