Learn Quick from a Finger Stick

A quick finger stick blood test can give you three measurements of important risk factors that can save your life.

We measure two key measurements - cholesterol and glucose.

When cholesterol is measured, you receive several different numbers that give you a total "lipid profile," which is a detailed measure of the fats in your blood.  Cholesterol is a soft, waxy fat.  It is found in the blood stream and is something your body and cells need.  Cholesterol can be dangerous, however, when it sticks to the sides of arteries and forms a build up that blocks blood flow. It is important to keep cholesterol to normal and healthy levels.

Glucose is a measure of blood sugar level and can indicate your risk for diabetes. People with pre-diabetes or diabetes are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease.  In fact, people with dabetes are two to three times more likely to have a stroke compared to those without the condition according to The Stroke Association.

Know these important measurements to monitor your cardiovascular health.
