At-home Cholesterol test source?

[pcn]

Im interested in tracking this with my PH cycles, and dont want the health insurance getting curious about why Im testing so often. Are there accurate, relatively inexpensive testers out there, maybe similar to those blood glucose testers? Thanks for any ideas.

You can get them at any drugstore. They only read totaly cholesterol levels, however.

Yes they have them. I am unware as to how accurate though. Here is a link to one.

Supposedly they are as accurate as any test done in a lab for total cholesterol...

Wow! Fast responses, thanks! Not as cheap as I had hoped, but after a few of the $30 lab based tests the meter would be paid for. Something I will definitely think about. Thanks again.

THANKS FOR THE LINK!

I'm seriously thinking of buying the $173 machine-->you can test all cholestrols, glucose, ketones, etc. That's the price of bloodwork for a couple cycles, and then you get to use it forever.

hmm there is the "lab test" for complete cholesterol panel for 29.99.
I think it has a single use?
