Does that mean the test I'm getting is actually 'the shaft'? Seriously, I wouldn't be surprised.I got told that because I'm not diabetic, I'm not considered to have high cholesterol in my current range (5.3). I'm just getting the test to satisfy my curiosity. But I was told the blood test would test my HDL, so if the numbers that come back are the 'same old ****' then GYAH! quite frankly.I do know one thing. There is no proof that fats cause heart disease, but there is countless proof that statins cure only 1 in 450 people of heart disease, but as a side effect give 45 of those people kidney failure, so hell will freeze over before I take a statin. That's just my opinion on them though.</blockquote>
