There is no way your ldl would ever be 2300 that isn't even possible missy get your facts straight mine was 199 and thats high with medication it is down to 83. and if your ldl is really that high you better get on meds because no amount of dieting is ever going to bring those numbers into normal range. just sayin

Are you going to tell us what you did to get it down then?

I am working on bringing mine down too. Told dr didn't want to try medication until after trying diet and exercise/weight loss first. Hoping it improves naturally without having to use drugs.

Get my facts straight?? LOL are you really trying to debate with me about my own numberS. Get an MD behind your name and then you can get snippy with me about MY OWN NUMBERS.

I'm kinda confused. LDL is considered very high at 190 mg/dL and above. I've never even heard of numbers in the thousands. I've heard of total cholesterols being in the 400 and 500s, and that is considered very high, but over 2000, just never knew it could get that high. Mine is boderline-low at 160 total.

Must be a different scale (maybe just /L?) or a missing decimal point.

But great job to the OP!

Yes I kind of assumed you'd be doing those things since you are on this site. Sorry I should have been clearer. Do you have any idea what you did with your diet that may have helped lower it? I'd like to get mine down more.

One the sheet with the breakdown of my numbers, there are 2 kinds of LDL.
