HIGH BLOOD CHOLESTEROL LEVEL TEST AND EXAM:
A cholesterol test is done to diagnose a lipid disorder. Some guidelines recommend having your first screening cholesterol test at age 20. Everyone should have their first screening test by age 35 in men, and age 45 in women.

It is important to work with your health care group
(Docter & Dietician) to set your cholesterol goals.

General targets are:

* LDL: 70-130 mg/dL (lower numbers are better)
* HDL: more than 40-60 mg/dL (high numbers are better)
*Total cholesterol: less than 200 mg/dL (lower number are better)
* Triglycerides: 10-150 mg/dL (lower numbers are better)

If your cholesterol results are abnormal, your doctor may also do:

* Blood sugar (glucose) test to look for diabetes.
*Kidney function tests.
*Thyroid function tests to look for an underactive thyroid gland.

VITAMIN -B9
Pregnant women who are thinking of becoming pregnant or who are pregnant often require additional supplementation of folic acid. Adequate folic acid is important for pregnant women because it has been shown to prevent some kinds of birth defects, including neural tube defects such as spina bifida. Many foods are now fortified with folic acid to help prevent these kinds of serious birth defects.

Diabetes is a debilitating disease which can affect every cell and every system of our body if not treated or managed well.

If diabetes is not treated or managed well, then a patient may suffer hypoglycaemia (hypo) when blood sugar levels fall dangerously low. If a 'Hypo' is not treated quickly then it may result in a coma or even death.

Diabetes-related complications start small but get bigger.
