To obtain a reliable cholesterol reading

• 
  Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours before the test.
• 
  Do not eat or drink anything but water for 12 hours beforehand.
• 
  If the test results are abnormal, a second test should be performed between 1 week and 2 months after the first test.

The BioSafe Cholesterol Panel Test is a home test, but it needs to be sent to a laboratory. This test, however, is very accurate and provides a full lipid profile.
