Wishbone…I just had a lipid panel done and came back with similar #newbies
Your A1C is good.
Chol should be between 120 to 200 so your good
Trig should be between 50 to 150 so your good there too.
HDL should be between 40-72 again good.
LDL should be between 62 to 129 good.
and if they gave you a chol/HDL ratio is should be <= 4.9

Meant to type #'s not #newbies…Sorry

#7

They gave me LDL/HDL ratio 2.5

What does that mean?

That’s less than 4.9 so your good on that also.

Cholesterol and LDL aren’t as black and white as the ranges when on Keto. We use LDL to get our energy transported and LDL will usually carry cholesterol with it as it moves triglycerides around the body. So you may see higher numbers there and it still be ok.

From what I can tell HDL and Trigs are the two most important lipid numbers for simple lipid panels like this. Hopefully you will see Triglycerides go down and HDL go up over time, but both of OP’s numbers look pretty good.

That is a fact. Thank you sir. I wouldn’t get too worried about the numbers unless your Trig and/or HDL are excessive.
