Cholesterol Troubles: You have a lifestyle and a genetic problem with cholesterol. Your HDL is way too low and is not providing you much protection against arterial plaques that will develop as you age. And you have a sugar problem in that the triglycerides (made from excess sugar calories for fat storage) are thickening up the blood which can increase the risk to the arteries. Less sugar and more exercise can help.
