<p>The blood tests we take are pretty much painless as they only involve a small finger prick to be able to take the samples we need. &nbsp;And we’ll keep chatting to you the whole way through so hopefully you won’t even notice that we’re doing it! &nbsp;It is entirely up to you, however, whether you have these blood tests taken, but we encourage you to have the blood tests so we have an objective way to determine your risk of serious illness such as heart disease and Type 2 diabetes.</p>
