The Doctorcall Cholesterol Home Testing Kit (or Lipid Profile) measures your cholesterol and triglyceride levels accurately. We also analyse the proportion of your cholesterol that is good (HDL) and bad (LDL) cholesterol which makes the information farm more meaningful. It is important to know your cholesterol and triglyceride levels and that are within normal limits as otherwise they fur up your arteries over a number of years like a kettle in a hard water area. However, some people with no apparent risk factors are found to have high cholesterol and picking this up at a young age is one of the most important factors in promoting a long and vigorous life.
