I was reading on the forum about people not knowing their lipid scores.

Not all cholesterol testing includes lipid profiles unless specifically asked for as they are two separate lab tests.

If you are scheduled for these tests it is always better to ask your G.P. to include the lipid profile.

Thanks cherrypie 🙂 I'm rarely, if ever told my lipid profile, so I guess this is probably why!
