Normal cholesterol is less than 200.  However, cholesterol is made of good (HDL) and bad (LDL) parts.  If you suffer from heart disease or diabetes, your LDL should be less than 80.

Here is an easy way to remember which is good cholesterol and which is bad cholesterol:

• HDL is good cholesterol, and HDL starts with the letter "H" which means "Happy." 
• LDL is bad cholesterol and LDL starts with the letter "L" which means "Lousy."
