What is your cholesterol level?

He's just trying to be humorous, I guess. He really is a very personable man. He was my internist when I broke my hip at 19 and developed a blood clot in my leg. When it was time to choose a primary care physician for my HMO, I remembered him because he had this wild curly red hair and a huge red moustache. I've actually referred about 4 or 5 people to his practice over the years and everyone loves him (and his totally hot partner, who is a young osteopath/internist - hubba, hubba).

He is AMAZING with my daughter when she comes in with me, but tells me he decided not to become a pediatrician because the parents were not pleasant to deal with. I can totally imagine that! It's a bummer, because I'd love him to be my daughter's doctor.

Okay, I pulled out my records on this...

The last time I was checked my overall cholesterol was 201.

The HDL was 69 and my doc said it should be over 50.

The LDL was 119 and my doc said it should be under 130, with 100 being "stellar".

The tri was 65 and she said it should be under 150.

My doc said my results were very good. That was almost a year ago now, and I'm due to go back again in April. I'd like to see the overall cholesterol come down a bit, and considering how clean I've been eating this year, I am hoping for even better results.

Hope this helps.

It's true, Denise, it's hard to fight genetics!

I agree Denise!!

My cholesterol: 220 (but my HDL and LDL were normal)
My DH's: 148


But, my HDL (good cholesterol) was very high. Well above the recommended number. My LDL (bad cholesterol) was well below the recommended number. Can't remember the numbers exactly but they were both very good.

So who knows? I eat very healthy and DH eats junk all the time!
