My brother used to game his cholesterol tests by going high fiber for weeks before. Like obnoxiously so! But you might be fine just being careful before a test.
Hmm that’s a good point. I wouldn’t have chosen fish and chips (which I’d have maybe 3 times a year lol) just before a cholesterol test but they sprung the appointment on me with a half hours notice the next day and so I just thought I’d get it over with. Yeah I’m taking the triglycerides as being a good sign and my good/bad ratio was okay too so maybe that’s why they’re not calling me in to look at meds. Thanks.
