That's the question I ask myself, Ken. Would the results of this test lead to any changes in my behavior? I concluded nearly a decade ago that no result on the cholesterol test would lead to any change so I have refused to have one since then. My doctor has even stopped asking me. In fact I have not had any testing done on doctor's orders for many years. I check my vitamin D level myself and adjust my supplementation accordingly. I have stopped doing blood glucose testing or testing ketones but did recently do HbA1C testing just to make sure things were good. The 2 results I got, 6 months apart (maybe a little less than 6 months) were 5.0 and then 4.9 so I figured that was good. And I occasionally measure my blood pressure but it has gone from borderline maybe you need medication to entirely normal. I like not having to involve a doctor. I figure that my diet is pristine and my exercise habits are beneficial so all is as good as I am going to get it.
