Cholesterol testing

<< < (3/3)

D.A.L.U.I.:
If you don't have any other issues, hypertension, elevated blood sugar, they probably won't check it except at your annual physical.  The other limit issue is what your health insurance will pay.
Congradulations, good genes, good diet and exercise seem to work for you.

My last annual physical was circa 1986.   :-[

Thanks.  I need to watch the cholesterol because it's a problem in the family.

Don't you think you carrier would pay for another, at your age other things could  be simmering, and it's nice to know they're not.  Just a thought--my father-in-law, who I never knew dropped dead at 42!  They can do things now.  And just to warn you, unless the tests are done as a whole they don't tell a whole lot.

It was actually a whole series of blood and urine tests -- I don't know what they did exactly.  I was just primarily focused on the cholesterol because my dad's is high.  I didn't even realize that I was required to give a urine sample until I got to the lab and they handed me a cup and told me to fill it.   :D
