About the Newfoundland Cholesterol Self Test
A cholesterol test you do at your own kitchen table: finger-prick blood, results in 2 minutes, over 96% accuracy against lab methods. High cholesterol quietly furs up arteries for years before it announces itself as a heart attack or stroke — this is the £-and-2-minutes way to find out whether yours needs attention. 1 test kit.
Why check cholesterol at all
Cholesterol has no symptoms. It's a major driver of coronary artery disease — the UK's biggest killer — and it's fixable, through diet, activity and if needed statins. Everyone over 40 gets it checked in an NHS Health Check; a home test fills the years between, or the decades before.
How to use
Prick a clean fingertip with the lancet, apply the stated drop to the test, wait 2 minutes, and match the result against the reading card (readable up to 2 minutes 30). The leaflet explains the level bands.
What the result means
Raised results should go to your GP or pharmacist for a full lipid panel — total cholesterol alone doesn't split 'good' HDL from 'bad' LDL, which shapes what (if anything) needs doing. Normal results: retest periodically, especially if heart disease runs in the family.

Frequently asked questions
Why test cholesterol if I feel fine?
Because it's symptomless by design — the first sign of high cholesterol is often the heart attack or stroke it caused. Finding it early makes it one of the most fixable risk factors there is.
What do I do with a high result?
Take it to your GP or pharmacist for a full lipid panel — the HDL/LDL breakdown decides whether diet tweaks or medication make sense. Don't panic, and don't ignore it.
Do I need to fast first?
Follow the kit leaflet — modern cholesterol testing generally doesn't require fasting, though consistency helps if you're comparing readings over time.
How often should I re-check?
With normal results, every few years — more often if heart disease runs in your family, or you're working on lowering a previous result.
