Cholesterol 5.6

[kazz1234]

is it high and got to go for a glutose test too

Hello

Personally I would not be to concerned if mine was that , mine is 6.5 and has been higher

Now the Doctors or some would like us all to be below about 3 but very rare anyone is

I think a few changes maybe in your diet and you could help bring it down , you can get spreads and drinks that are said to sometimes work in reducing Cholesterol from most Supermarkets

You are under your Doctor so I am sure they will advise you if they think they are happy to see if a few changes reduces it or they may talk you through medication

I am sure with their help you will get this sorted

Just have seen you are the Weight Lost Community to and I just wondered if you meant to post this on there but then again it may be making you feel anxious but either way you are most Welcomed x

Hello

Yes I worry to with all these tests and the results

I know at one time not that long ago they used to have the guideline I believe that if your Cholesterol was 7 you were fine but they have changed their minds as they do but try not to worry ( I know easier said than done ) but whatever the results it is something that can easily be put right x

Please don't worry about these readings. As others have said they're not so high and as other comments state, the medical 'authorities' change these guidelines. Probably testing glucose because sometimes high readings of both go hand in hand. I had a situation over 10 years ago when my blood sugar (glucose) had shot up and they said I was in the diabetic range. I got a real fright but I tackled it by eating sensibly and exercising. I lost weight and my readings normalised. I still keep an eye on my weight and keep glucose levels down. I am vegan now, after many years of being vegetarian. Not eating meat or dairy has a big impact on physical health - cholesterol etc. Take positive action to change things and you will dispel your anxiety. Incidently, there's a very good Facebook group for Slimming World vegans.
