Cholesterol check: there are meters like the ones use to check glucose(sugar) to check cholesterol also, maybe this is the easiest way to have it checked

Easier than WHAT??: Hi. Please! Easier than what...a simple blood draw?! NO, there isn't! I needn't go on! There is a boat-load of stuff in medicine we need BLOOD to test. We (docs) don't force you (patients) to do ANYTHING! If you don't want to know your cholesterol (or any other blood chemistries or cells), then SKIP IT! You da boss! We only recommend...you're free to say, "no thanks". Good luck!

Blood Test: Your doctor can order the blood test. It is Fasting Lipid panel. Some time during health awareness campaign Finger stick Lipid panel is offered at public places like Grocery store or Pharmacy.
