How high is your Cholesterol??
 

My total cholesterol is 132 ...

How high is yours?? :winkwink:

Mine is 7.9 but I dont what scale that is on.... Its meant to be under 5 I think

wrong thread?

Uh if thats for real, Id go see a doc, with medication it can be lowered a LOT.

errr...... no :)

It was an answer to your question.... we use a different scale here

you mean the rate LDL (bad) to HDL (good) ...

Im trying with diet at the moment... I went on the Aktins for a while and thats what screwed me

I have also been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes so I have got to be really careful - paying for my mispent youth I suppose.

whats your icq?

I posted that info here

6377971 - Im offline at the moment.... Im having the day off and drinking some vino - I heard it was good for you - lol - If I put ICQ on it will go bonkers, I have been off all day.

Hit me up tomorrow though if you remember

a big mac with extra cheese.....is that high?

k np, just wanted to share some experience :) 7.9 is troublesome, but I guess you know... oh and a bm with extra cheese is bout 3 weeks supply sat fat for me yeah...

lol... That reminds me what my Dr said when he gave me the results...... "well the good news is there is still some blood left in your fat stream....."

Actually I didnt have to put up with extreme measures, Im no fastfood junky, but some things like sauceges or spareribs etc are history... but its cool... I like to live a bit longer :)

Damn... I love chinese spare ribs.... but the sugar would kill me now as well

im afraid to check. I eat a lot of shit!

me too uh cha siew? how do you spell that... anyhow thats pure poison...

It was getting pretty bad, that's why I switched to an all veggie diet.

I find out in the am I'll keep ya posted

that's in mmol/L and definitely too high. It's time for you to see a doctor about that. A healthy diet can lower total cholesterol by as much as 10-20%, the rest will need to be done medically.

me too, fish, beef and veggies and nothing like cocos and so on

post some numbers please ...

yeah it is I know, 8.5 and up is treated as serious heart attack problem zone here in Holland

Total cholesterol is 140

5.2 with med and a diet and thats a lot better then most ppl have and dont know bout :)

no he doesn't, there is a world outside of the US where people use rational scales, not mg/dl like in US.

that's alright. In the netherlands the target is 5.0 mmol/L, US is a little more strict with 4.5 total.

how to get the mmol/L from the mg/dl value?

Yeah Im happy with 5.2, whole range of relatives with fam chol trouble so it was time to act. Got my Lipitor on my desk even now. I mean whats there to do, take 1 tablet a day and skip the mayo. Its worth not getting a stroke at 40.

dunno, but i guess pretty low, since i barely eat any fat stuff :thumbsup

It depends on the molar weight of the molecule, I don't know it by heart for cholesterol, try google :winkwink:

"To convert mmol/l of HDL or LDL cholesterol to mg/dl, multiply by 39.
To convert mg/dl of HDL or LDL cholesterol to mmol/l, divide by 39."

just found it. divide by 39.

132 => 3,4 mmol/L :)

Why dont you know....?

Useless :)

err 3,4? thats extremely low you sure?

yep, i'm sure. :)

well thats cool then, youre a healthy guy :)

I take Lipitor and my total is 215. 132 seems awfully low.

Got no problem wityh my cholesterol level.
