Best At Home Cholesterol Test Kit That Won’t Break The Bank…. But Has Pretty Accurate Results .. ❤️💕❤️
A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭

I’m Looking to buy a at home (not 1 use only ) cholesterol test kit, that doesn’t cost a whole lot of money
My non HDL was 169 (last weeks results ) 😩
I’m not sure what docs use most for putting you on meds
( and which number they rely most on to tell you , your in trouble )
Total cholesterol
Ratio
Non HDL number

😩😩😩

Thx everyone for all your great suggestions, info and just all around great and positive attitudes as we go through this journey together!!!

hi, this is what I found- https://www.wikihow.com/Test-Cholesterol-at-Home
ou can get them for about $20 at the pharmacy. This article tells you about the test and what it's for- https://www.webmd.com/cholesterol-management/ch....
How do you calculate non-HDL cholesterol?

People can calculate their non-HDL cholesterol by using their test results and following the equation: total cholesterol – HDL = non-HDL. For example, if a person has a total cholesterol of 240 mg/dl and an HDL of 40, their non-HDL is 200 mg/dl. Learn more about cholesterol ratios and why they are important. What else do cholesterol tests measure?

One, whose LDL is 155 (that's high) and HDL is 25 (that's low), has an elevated risk for heart disease. Another, whose LDL is 105 and HDL is 75, has a much healthier profile. Leave it to the lab Some home tests make perfect sense. Checking your blood pressure or blood sugar at home can give you an early warning that trouble's brewing.
I hope this helped.
