Suresign Total Cholesterol Test Suresign Total Cholesterol Test is an easy to use home cholesterol test kit that gives you professional results in just 3 minutes. This self-test kit can be used at any time of day & does not require you to fast before taking it. Suresign Total Cholesterol Test works by taking a small sample of blood to determine your cholesterol level. The results are shown by a change in colour which can be compared to the colour chart supplied with the kit. The deeper the colour, the higher your cholesterol level. Your test result will place you in one of three risk groups:" Desirable" Group (result less than 5.2 mmol/L): You are likely to be at low risk for heart disease. If you have other risk factors for heart disease however, you should talk with your doctor as a lower level may be recommended." Borderline-High" Group (result between 5.2-6.2 mmol/L): You may be at increased risk for heart disease. You should talk with your doctor." High" Group (result 6.2 mmol/L or above): You may be at increased risk for heart disease, whether or not you have additional risk factors. You should ask your doctor immediately for advice. It is recommended that if you have no other risk factors, you should routinely measure your blood cholesterol every 5 years if you are a man over 35 years or a woman over 45 years. If you do have other risk factors then it is recommended that you measure your cholesterol regularly from the age of 20 years. Pregnancy will affect the results of the test as cholesterol is high during pregnancy. If you are pregnant, you should wait until at least 6 weeks after giving birth to perform the cholesterol test.
