1. A cholesterol-level measuring apparatus comprising:

  • a body includinga cholesterol level detecting means for identifying a cholesterol level in a blood sample; and

    a display screen directly coupled to said cholesterol level detecting means for illustrating a learned cholesterol level in the blood sample;

    wherein said cholesterol level detecting means includesa test strip that is metallic and has a color-changing reactive reagent that changes color in response to the learned cholesterol level in the blood sample, wherein said color-changing reactive reagent has cholesterol-sensitive properties coated on said test strip,a color-detecting sensor directly coupled to said test strip, said color detecting sensor generating and transmitting a color signal upon learning a changed color of said test strip,a processor and a memory directly coupled thereto, andan analog-to-digital convertor directly coupled to each said color-detecting sensor and said processor;

    wherein, in response to receiving said color signal, said processor generates and transmits a control signal that causes a digital output to be displayed on said display screen.
