In sum, you take a tiny blood sample with the prick of a sterilized lancet and get a reading on that blood. Home cholesterol test kits come with detailed instructions. Be careful to follow them carefully. If you fail to do so—do not stay quiet and relax for several minutes beforehand, do not fill the sample container, conduct the test in sunlight, don’t allow enough time for the tester strip in the blood sample—you may get false readings.
