But Celsie how can a diagnostic test prevent problems in the future? If Caeleb's test is fine but then something happened later in life like you're DH's chemo the test results would be meaningless. Some of my family have the genetic predisposition to high cholesterol/type 2 diabetes etc. and diet and exercise are the key, especially exercise. But a healthy diet and regular exercise have MANY MANY benefits and should be the norm for everyone, not only people who tested positive for high cholesterol. If your DH has to have medication despite a good diet and exercise what difference could a test have made?
