How Bad Was My Attempt In Approaching...
Family & Relationships5 mins ago
Last week i was pretty ill with some kind of gastric infection/bug. I went to the Dr's and he did a blood test for my pancreas, kidneys and liver.
All the tests have come back fine apart from liver function which was a bit high.....this was expected as i enjoy a beer or 5.
But i asked the quack to do a cholesteral and blood glucose test as he had the needle already in my arm....i hadn't eaten for over 12 hours either.
Surprisingly, the cholesteral came back at 5.3, which i'm told is ok. The glucose was good too.
The Dr didn't really give any other info......is 5.3 ok ?

This is a recognised cholesterol level indicator
<5.2 Desirable level corresponding to lower risk for heart disease
5.2 - 6.2 Borderline high risk
>6.2 High risk
Like most of us it would be nice to be lower(say towards 4) but as you can see hammerman you are in pretty good cholesterol shape.
