Cholesterol is up

Someday, they'll dig up my father's and my corpses/skeletons (if I don't get cremated), drill into our teeth, and extract the DNA to find out why we could sometimes have the worst diets on earth and still have great cholesterol.

If I tried, I don't think I could generate high cholesterol.  Sometimes the online apps and tables don't go low enough to handle or list my latest lab's total or LDL cholesterol.

I got a complete copy of last Friday's diabetic blood today at the followup with my doctor.

My HDL, good cholesterol, was 54, disappointingly below 60, but above the more than than 40 standard.  When I start getting more exercise it will jump back over 60.

My LDL, bad cholesterol, was a super 65.8,  far under the less than 100 standard or less than 90 for diabetics accord to some.

Total cholesterol was 136, about typical for me and well under the below 160 or below 200 standards.
