Lipids: Total cholesterol less than 5.2 mmol/l is excellent, as is an HDL of 1.6 mmol/l or greater. Triglycerides of less than 1.7 mmol/l is also very good. Sounds like your lipids are not a problem and you are doing quite well. This must, however, be correlated with your clinical overall picture. Good luck.
