Blood Test

Today, i just drop by at the open counter for health test in my office after my lunch. Then the result as follows:

Lipid
Total cholesterol 5.5 (borderline)
HDL 1.18 (normal)
LDL (not calculate becoz Triglycerides high)
Triglycerides 5.09 (high)
Cholesterol/HDL 4.66 (normal)

Glucose 7.1 (within the range of 4.0-7.8)

Blood pressure 120/70 (excellent)

The consultant recommended to do another test but i need to fast or not taken breakfast.

For high Triglycerides it can cause heart disease and diabetes mellitus. The doc recommended me to take a lot fish rather than meat or chicken, more vegetables and fruit. She also suggested olive oil/canola oil (brand NATUREL) for cooking. Just curious either she is promoting the oil or got commission...he he..

Never mind. I plan to do another blood test tomorrow. Hopefully everything is ok...
