Detailed Answer:
HI,thanks for using healthcare magic
Wow, that is wonderful.
Your present values are great.
By reducing cholesterol (total), LDL and triglycerides so well, you would have cut down your risk of heart disease and stroke significantly
The values are fine. Congrats and hope that they remain this way, your diet changes worked really well
If you are currently on cholesterol med, then this may need to be reassessed.
At the moment there is no lower limit to the cholesterol (total ) or the breakdown values (LDL, triglycerides)
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
