LDL-C is now calculated using the Martin-Hopkins
calculation, which is a validated novel method providing
better accuracy than the Friedewald equation in the
estimation of LDL-C. Martin SS et al. JAMA. 2013;310(19):
2061-2068 (http://education.QuestDiagnostics.com/faq/FAQ164)
Total HDL-C Direct 31 mg/dL >40 mg/dL
Sum Total Cholesterol 230 mg/dL <200 mg/dL
REAL-LDL Size Pattern B Pattern A Pattern
Risk: Optimal Pattern A; High Pattern B
Triglycerides 573 mg/dL <150 mg/dL
Total Non-HDL-Chol (LDL+VLDL) 199 mg/dL (calc) <130 mg/dL (calc)
For patients with diabetes plus 1 major ASCVD risk factor,
treating to a non-HDL-C goal of <100 mg/dL (LDL-C of <70
mg/dL) is considered a therapeutic option.
Chol/HDL Ratio 7.4 calc <5.0 calc
LDL Particles, Total 1902 nmol/L 1016 - 2185 nmol/L
Risk: Optimal <1260; Moderate 1260-1538; High >1538
LDL Particle Size 207.4 Angstrom > OR = 218.2 Angstrom
Risk: Optimal >222.5; Moderate 222.5-218.2; High <218.2

Adult cardiovascular event risk category cut points
(optimal, moderate, high) are based on adult U.S. reference
population. Association between lipoprotein subfractions and
cardiovascular events is based on Musunuru et al. ATVB.

For high trigs also at least 3 g/d of EPA/DHA (read the ingredients label carefully to know the particular EPA/DHA content). But with out going grain-free and reducing carbs (if necessary down to 15g per meal only) I don't believe these high trig number could be lowered substantially.
