Low Cholesterol but High Triglyceride ?

My Cholesterol is 3.8 nmol/l
HDL 2.1 nmol/l
LDL 0.8 nmol/l
Cholesterol / HDL ratio 1.81

Perfect readings ?

So why is my Triglyceride up at 1.9 nmol/l ?

Where is it coming from ? Is it likely to undo the beneficial effects of my good cholesterol profile and lead to arteriosclerosis ?

And why doesn’t LDL + HDL add up to Total Cholesterol ?
Philippa states …."It is endogenous (diet plays a small part in it but your body depends highly on fatty acids for energy and stores these in adipose tissue. We all differ in our capacity to mobilise fatty acids for metabolism)."

So if if its not due to diet what might be the causes ? Could fasting, or dieting elevate the breakdown and release of adipose fats into the bloodstream, rather like in ketosis ?
