I have a friend here in Ireland who just got told she needs to eat healthier and excercise, cause her cholesterol is a little high at 6.1. I have another friend in the USA who has chronic high cholesterol (and a very bad, fried-food and meat diet), his doctor is actually kinda worried, and his cholesterol is 2.8.

I am assuming there are different meassurements in the two countries? Is there a conversion chart somewhere?

conversion to American values

I don't know why your friend would say his values were 2.8... that doesn't sound right.

Your friend in Ireland would be at 237.9 in our measurement based on that article.

Yeah my US friend is actually 228. Thanks!
