DH may have some cholesterol
 
issues. I'm not sure yet though, as he doesn't know the breakdown. Or the total number.. :lol: :help:
Anywho, I probably should have expected this as he is a person who eats whatever and doesn't gain weight. However, I've worried that he would have issues. I know a few years back his TG were high, but since his TC was within limits, it wasn't an issue. :rolleyes: Funny thing is, his ratio is probably worse than mine! His blood pressure is good though. :thup:

TG's don't contribute very much to total cholesterol but very high TG's can be lethal.
formula:
TC=LDL + HDL + (TG/5)

The whole total cholesterol thing is seriously out of whack. HDL is good and if you have very high good cholesterol, it could push your TC number into a zone that worries the standard doctor-droid.

That's exactly what I have going on. I'm just glad that the reports of statins being recalled stuck in my mind and when he said he wanted to put me on something, I flat said No. :o (which is hard for me, but damn, I'm the one who has to live with it) :thup:

[ETA: I was printing some things out to show him, but you know what? I bet I'm wasting my time and paper. I don't think he'll even look at them. I'm not that smart, ya know? :rolleyes: ]

[EATA (edited again to add) He did say the one that was "kinda high" but within range, he asked how to bring it down and they said exercise. So, I think it's his TG]
