[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 683360, member: 94045"] I have just booked in for my annual OAP Health check, which comprises blood tests including a full cholesterol check. I asked for an early appointment as it is a fasting test. I was told in no uncertain terms that they (the Practice) don't do fasting tests for anything anymore. (I assume this excludes glucose). I insisted I wanted one because non-fasting can affect triglyceride results, but was refused. I will fast anyway, just for my own peace of mind, but wondered if the goal posts are changing on whether fasting actually is necessary for triglyceride tests? [/QUOTE]
