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 ![]() |
