Can you get a home test for chloresterol?
My boyfriend has been told he has very high chloresterol and needs it checked often. Does anyone know if you can buy home tests or if only the doc/nurse can check it?
Answers:
You can check out CholesterolCheck.org for home tests. They are very inexpensive. To be safe, your boyfriend may be better off to go to a doctor. Depending on his levels, his doctor may want to check it every year or more often after he's changed his diet. If a change of diet doesn't make a difference in his levels, he may need to be put on a lipid-lowering med.

If he has a history of high cholesterol, it's much safer & accurate to have it checked by a medical professional. He should only need it monthly and his insurance should cover it. Why spend extra on low quality tests?Try a google search. I have seen them before.
