A member asked:

My fasing sugar is 142mg,/dl, s.cholestrol 211, s.triglycerides 267, hdl cholestrole 36, ldl cholestrol 146? are these levels normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Metabolic Syndrome.: These numbers are not normal. In fact, they seem very consistent with something called metabolic syndrome - high blood sugar, high cholesterol, high LDL, high triglycerides, low HDL. It's linked to high insulin levels in the blood and, as you can imagine, is very atherogenic. If you're overweight, losing weight will certainly help this.
