Sugar OK: Your fasting blood sugar is normal, but more information about your cholesterol components needs to be reviewed before I can comment on the clinical risk associated with this isolated and fairly obsolete number. Your LDL, HDL, TG, VLDL need to be checked and I would actually prefer a more in depth profile since the standard profile can also provide a false sense of security. Feel free to contact
