How can I track my cholesterol results privately?
Short answer: You can keep your cholesterol results in a private log on your phone. PrivateSteps lets you enter total, HDL, LDL and triglycerides, choose mg/dL or mmol/L, set a target, and see a chart. There is no account, and everything stays on your phone.
A place for your lab results
Cholesterol results often arrive on paper or in a patient portal, and they are easy to lose track of over the years. A private log keeps them together.
- No account, no ads, no analytics, no cloud.
- Entries are stored only on your phone.
- The app has no internet access of its own.
See our privacy page for more.
What you can log
- Total, HDL, LDL and triglycerides.
- As many entries as you like, whenever you get new results.
- Your choice of mg/dL or mmol/L.
- A target, shown as a dashed line on your chart.
Please ask your own doctor or care team what your numbers mean and what targets are right for you. PrivateSteps does not interpret results or suggest targets.
See it as a chart
Your cholesterol entries are drawn as lines over time. On the Compare screen you can also view them with your steps on one chart, using Week, Month, Year or All. Because lab tests happen only now and then, the Year or All view often suits cholesterol best.
Bring it to your appointment
Having your own history in one place can make a visit smoother. If you take medicines, you can also keep a list in the app, with dose, how often and dates, and print it. See printing a medication list for your doctor.
