I am a female and I don't know whether I am speaking to a male or female.
But my last CCRP was 1.1 and it gave the risk factors from Low to high.
3.1 - 10.00 is "High Cardiovascular risk."
Do you take cholestrol tests in a lab as a normal practice that often; or
was it the same lab? My doctor(s) tell me that it takes cholesterol 6
months to change, unless you've started a regimen of statins, probably.
