Know Your Cholesterol   Remember that high cholesterol itself does not have symptoms, so unless you test, you won’t know if your cholesterol levels are too high. Frequent testing doesn’t have to mean frequent doctor’s appointments. Using the CardioChek® analyser and test strips can help you stay on track between doctor appointments. It’s like using a scale when you are trying to lose weight. Why Wait and Worry? Checking your numbers gives you peace of mind, helps you make informed decisions, and lets you know if your heart health regimen is working. | Recommended cholesterol levels - Total Cholesterol should be less than 5.2mmol/L
- HDL Cholesterol should be greater than 1 in men and 1.2mmol/L in women
- Triglyceride is best done on a fasting sample and should be less than 1.7mmol/L
- Glucose should be greater than 4 but less than 7 in a fasting sample, and less than or equal to 9mmol/L 2 hours after a meal
