I just had bloodwork and have an HDL of 128 (verified) LDL of 107 ratio of 2.0, triglycerides of 75.

My HDL has been increasing over the last couple of years. 2 years ago it was 88, last year it was 97; now this year it is 128 (verified for accuracy by repeat analysis at Quest Diagnostics). I assume that these numbers are good, even though my total is 250. Is that true??
