My overall cholesterol is 196; LDL 128 & HDL 49 – are these levels okay or are they at risky levels?
I was given a very informative answer to my previous question and in that answer I was told the LDL must be low and HDL must be high – how do I know what is high and low for these numbers?
Your cholesterol is within normal limits. You LDL is also within normal limits. Your HDL is borderline.
These are the normal limits:
cholesterol 200 and below
LDL 130 and below
HDL 40 and below
Hope that helps.

That is ok if you do not have other risk factors such as diabetes.
