About this test

This test covers the standard cholesterol and lipid panel (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, non-HDL, the cholesterol ratio and triglycerides) plus HbA1c, which reflects average blood glucose over roughly three months. Combining these gives a wider view of cardiovascular risk factors than cholesterol alone.

Among the eight comparable lipid tests we track, priced from £29 to £49 with a median of six markers, this £53 test sits slightly above the median price for one extra marker. MyHealthChecked's own Cholesterol Profile Blood Test tests the six lipid markers alone for £45, £8 less, if you do not need the glucose marker.

The clinical depth score is high, reflecting a marker count above the group median, but the value for money score is only middling because the price itself sits 8% above the group median. Results and follow-up scores well because a GP reviews the results.

Who is it for?

This suits anyone who wants cholesterol and blood glucose checked together in one test, particularly if you are over 40, overweight, or have a family history of heart disease. If you only want the cholesterol markers, MyHealthChecked's own Cholesterol Profile Blood Test covers the same six lipid markers for £45, £8 less.

How it works

You take a finger-prick blood sample at home and post it to MyHealthChecked's UK laboratory. Results are ready in 2 to 3 working days, and a GP reviews them and provides recommendations.
