For those of you that asked in terms of the Cholesterol/Body Compostition Assessment I had today – it was a finger prick, taking my blood pressure and I got on a “Tanita Body Composition Analyzer.” (That’s what the print out called it).
The finger prick for blood to put in a little machine which told me all about my Cholesterol and Glucose. YOU GUYS I HATE GETTING FINGER PRICKED. I used to get SO worked up when I was little I would puke. I expected the worst, but I didn’t care because I wanted to know. However it was not bad at all – I looked away and rambled while she did it and squeezed out blood.
THEN she took my blood pressure -which I was worried about because I had just been all worked up over getting my finger prick, but I took some deep breathes and turned out just fine!
Next I took off my shoes and socks and got on the “Tanita Body Composition Analyer” really it looks just like a scale, but apparently it sends electric shocks through your feet to get all the data about your body. I didn’t feel anything (which I think is common).
Finally the blood analyzing machine and body composition machine printed out little labels with the results which the doctor explained.
