How it works ↓
Finger-prick cholesterol and glucose test
The test

One small sample. Three key readings.

A single finger-prick capillary sample is all it takes. Your pharmacist runs the test in branch and talks you through what each result means — plus simple, tailored lifestyle advice.

Total cholesterol

Your overall cholesterol level — the headline number for understanding your heart-health risk.

HDL — “good” cholesterol

The protective type that helps clear cholesterol from your blood. Higher HDL is better.

Glucose

Your blood sugar level — a useful early indicator alongside your cholesterol reading.

Staying active for heart health
Why test
