    Whoops realised I mentioned a brand sorry! 

    Yes I have recently purchased a Cholesterol testing meter/system. The results were very close to my recent blood results from GP. Easy to use, just followed guidance on u  tube.

    For goodness sake. Just when this was getting really interesting and your reply gets blocked. I presume because it was advertising but we need to know about these things. I've just lost 16 kg, gone from size 18 to 12. Yet I've just been recalled on my cholesterol test by the GP so I am fearing the worst. I have focused my weight loss on low carb and virtually no sugar due to tackling a pre-diabetic condition. I have monitored that with a glucose meter (not mentioning any brands!!!!!). That has really helped me keep levels well within normal so a cholesterol one might be very useful. Ridiculous that you can't comment one one.
