[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 431231, member: 11028"] Lloyd's Pharmacies do cholesterol checks although I believe they only test your Total Cholesterol, you can buy home testing kits which test your cholesterol, the cheaper once's test TC as where the more expensive ones will give you a lipid breakdown. As part of your yearly diabetes check you should get a full lipid breakdown of your cholesterol, you do have to tell the nurse when taking the bloods that you want this done otherwise you could just get the TC reading, remember if you do want a full lipid breakdown you need to fast for the previous 10-12 hours.
