It is estimated that 16 million Americans have cholesterol related problems, but as many as half of them do not know it. If left untreated, cholesterol can lead to stroke, and heart failure. However, when detected early and treated correctly, high or low cholesterol can be controlled.

So why do so many have cholesterol problems and not know it? The symptoms can be subtle and easily overlooked or explained away. Often, cholesterol will progress and slowly show its course in other life threatening illnesses such as heart disease.

Early diagnosis can save your life. With proper treatment cholesterol can be controlled and complications avoided or delayed. Everyone should be aware their cholesterol numbers, as it is more common than was ever anticipated. Your cholesterol can be controlled by many medicines, diet, and exercise.

The following questions may help determine whether you are at higher risk for cholesterol:

• Do you have a family history of diabetes?
• Are you overweight?
• Are you inactive?
• Are you over age 45?
• Are you a woman who has delivered a baby weighing more than 9 pounds at birth?
• Are you African American, Hispanic, Native American or Asian American?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, ask your healthcare provider if you should be checked for diabetes.

• Fatigue or weakness

If you have any of these symptoms, contact your healthcare provider. Below is link regarding different cholesterol tests and monitors that can help you test your cholesterol levels.
