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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy check cholesterol at all\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCholesterol 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrick 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the result means\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaised 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Newfoundland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57730201616771,"sku":"4279592","price":6.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1006\/9282\/0355\/files\/61ZtPeQXVXL._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1786115618","url":"https:\/\/www.stockmymedicine.co.uk\/products\/newfoundland-cholesterol-self-test","provider":"StockMyMedicine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
