Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Hope you're doing better Dave W

Appreciate this is the high cholesterol thread, but thought someone here might know. I had a finger prick test yesterday and while my overall number was fine (4.2), my Ldl reported as zero and my triglycerides as 0.51

I feel like this is an error because surely it can't be nothing?

Should I go and get a test from my GP? Will they do anything about it? I've had low numbers before but never a zero.

I eat a high fat low carb diet in the main and drink rarely.

So your overall cholesterol is fine and your bad cholesterol (LDL) is zero. That's great !
Joking aside, it can't be zero but it's probably very low. Which is not a problem.

You're so young that you'd probably need a LDL of about 20 to ring the statin bell, Curly45 :)
