Message: <blockquote data-quote="BrianTheElder" data-source="post: 1337022" data-attributes="member: 311044">My practice does non-fasting blood tests as standard, I presume for economy.  These tests only report TC, HDL and non-HDL. To get LDL and triglycerides, I would need a fasting test and I expect that will be one of the outcomes from my next visit.  I would also like to find what type of LDL I have, but I'm not sure this is available on NHS.  I will definitely get my iron and B12 checked as well.  Any further suggestions?One of my problems is that my wife doesn't read all the research that I do, so needs a lot of convincing as well.  I feel she has a stake in this, so I have to listen to her wishes.  I realise that at the end of the day, it's my body and my decision, but life isn't always that easy.</blockquote>
