What can I expect during my appointment?
The dietitian will collect several body measurements. They will collect a blood sample from a finger prick that will be used to determine your cholesterol levels, triglycerides and glucose levels. They will also take resting blood pressure; measurements of height, weight and waist; and body mass index. All information is kept confidential and complies with the requirements of HIPAA. The entire screening process typically lasts 15 to 20 minutes and you will receive all your results during this appointment. The dietitian will briefly review the results of your screening during your appointment.
The purpose of the results review is not to provide a diagnosis or specific medical advice. Please consult a medical professional for individual advice.
