Corbus, I don't understand why you say a lipid subtype test is a waste of time and money. The advanced cholesterol analysis (from Berkeley Labs, for instance) can reveal problems that regular cholesterol tests can't. For me, it showed that I have a high level of something called lipoprotein (a), a heredetary factor that is quite dangerous and suggested the need for different treatment and possibly diet for me. I really urge anyone with a risk factor to get this kind of analysis done.
