Yep, she's right. It doesn't fluctuate as much as blood pressure does, but does change according to what has been eaten within the past 24 hours and whether or not you are releasing fat for fuel. My total actually went up over a 6 months period, but the numbers within reversed themselves and my risk factor dropped to well below the 'goal' line, even though my total numbers went up. My doc kept wanting to put me on a statin drug because my LDL was still staying about 156, but I pointed out to him that my risk ratio had dropped considerably--which was my point in fending him off starting me on the statin. Well, after about 9 months my LDL suddenly dropped 33 points and now all my numbers are completely normal. (In spite of the enormous amount of animal fat I eat!!)
