Finger prick blood tests help us understand how your blood fat changes in response to the test meals we give you. They also help us compare your blood fat control to other people. Just like we did for your blood sugar control.

For blood fat, we measure specific biomarker levels (triglycerides, HDL, total cholesterol) 6 hours after eating your breakfast meal.

Did you know that when we look at blood samples from our research participants we can actually see the fats?

When we separate plasma from the blood – fats (lipids) create a cloudy effect. These lipids indicate that the fat from your meal is still in your blood.

Though this is a normal part of the digestion process, too much fat in your blood can trigger dietary inflammation and is linked to poor heart health. So it’s important to eat meals containing fats that your body is able to clear quickly.

Your results will show your blood fat control score based on all the data we have collected, including your finger prick test and the response to our test meals.
