Are there any electronic devices available to buy in any Bangkok pharmacies that can check cholesterol levels at home?

 

Do you use such devices and how have they been?

Are there particular pharmacies in Bangkok known to be good with offering electronic medical devices?

I am not aware of any such device available anywhere in Thailand.

 

There are, however, several labs where you can easily get a full lipid panel done on demand for a couple hundred baht.

 

Lipids do nto change that rapidly, there is no need to monitor more than once every couple of months.

Thanks Sheryl, that's a possible alternative that I hadn't thought of. Do you know of inexpensive places in Bangkok to do a full lipid panel?

There appears to be some devices on Shopee and Lazada targeting Thai market. I'm not sure how trustworthy or reliable they are though.

 

e.g.:

I have some oil of the snake that you can use to expedite these results 

Aside from my previous hilarious comment, I would question the validity of the results - if cholesterol levels (more on that) are of concern, I would not wish to trust an all singing all dancing piece of $15 dollar machinery. 

I would also add that this will probably (at best) only be able to detect total cholesterol - which has limited value and would very likely be easily skewed if not in a fasted state etc......
