<p>I know this has been asked so many times but how do my numbers look?</p> <p>Chol 194</p> <p>Trigs 35</p> <p>HDL 62</p> <p>LDL 124</p> <p>Chol/HDL ratio 3.1</p> <p>Do these all seem ok? LDL flagged as high at the lab, but my ratio is good.</p> <p>Only other thing that flagged was my White Cell Count which was 3.6 (range = 4.0-11.00). Dr said follow up in 6 weeks.</p> <p>CRP was &lt;1 (range 0-5)</p> <p>I think I remember reading the ratio that Dr H said was most important was the Trig-HDL ratio. Is this right? </p> <p>Cheers PH'ers</p>

<p>These appear to be fantastic results to me.The 2 biomarkers to look at with regard to CVD risk are Total Chol/HDL and triglycerides. Both are excellent.</p>

<p>I've always heard that the ratio is what matters too. I think also it matters what type of LDL you have, with the large, fluffy type that paleo dieters tend to have being better.</p>

<p>Looks real good. Your HDL is almost double your trigs, and your HDL makes up a third of your TC. </p> <p>What is your diet like Peter?</p>

<p>Keep doing whatever you're doing; these numbers are very good.</p>

<p>If you don't mind I throw mine in, too. After more than a decade of eating only crap, then vegetarian (still with only crap), short time raw veganism, then 2 months gluten-free whole foods:</p> <p>Chol <strong>150</strong></p> <p>glucose: <strong>90</strong></p> <p>Trigs <strong>73</strong></p> <p>HDL <strong>68</strong></p> <p>LDL <strong>77</strong></p> <p>Chol/HDL ratio <strong>2.6</strong></p> <p>CRP <strong>0.1</strong></p> <p>homocysteine <strong>13.7</strong> </p> <p>vitamin D <strong>7.7</strong></p> <p>Ok so far? I am eager to see my new results after 5 months lc paleo. I use 20.000 IU vit D per week and cod liver oil. Folate for high homocysteine.</p>
