What's this?

I wouldn’t necessarily sweat it then.

Especially if you didn’t fast 12 hours prior. Get retested and normal protocol. Has it ever been brought up as an issue before? How old are you...40s?

FWIW, I’ve been on cholesterol meds for almost 20 years now (since my mid 20s). Mine is pretty much genetics. I tried everything lifestyle wise and it never budged, got on a statin and dropped it 50% in a few months. I have no other risk factors so I don’t sweat it, just is what it is.
