A member asked:
I got some blood results and ldl cal shows 136, non-hdl-c show 156. what does that mean and is it very high?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High but not very: Numbers are barely above goal range. Diet, exercise and weight loss should get you there. If you have certain risk factors for heart disease e.g. Diabetes, goals would be even lower and you may need medication.
