A member asked:
How long should you wait in between cholesterol tests to see if your numbers improved? is a month too soon ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely: The doctor who is treating you should advise about the frequency of testing. It would depend in part on the starting point and the treatment given. One months is likely too soon. It would be okay to wait three months or longer. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
