Right,my GP sent me to the dietician and finally I was given some numbers today.My GP wasn't happy with my results and I didn't have a clue about the meaning of the numbers.Now it's like follows:
Total cholesterol 7.1
HDL= 1.2
LDL= 5.2 (this is bad I was told?)
TG(Triglyc.)= 1.5

Do I have to be really worried? Any more tips how to lower my 5.2 number? I was told to cut cheese,eggs and cream drastically,all the things I love but eat to much of? Which food supplements help to lower cholesterol? Any other ideas of what has worked for you and might work for me too?
