Hi peeps been diagnosed with T2 recently, and wondered if I should have had lipid testing as part of the process, I didn't but wondered if I should have been tested ?
 
Hello Martin,

You should have your cholesterol checked at least once a year as one of the 15 Care Essentials. Ideally you will get a full lipid panel as Total Cholesterol only is fairly useless.
 
Thanks everydayupsanddowns..
