[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1690224, member: 429870"] My understanding is that fasting may well give you a lower triglyceride result, as that test reflects the fat you may have eaten in the previous hours. A lower trig reading would be good ammunition for you, as this is one of the cholesterol components that really matter. It also contributes to total cholesterol, so it's a bit daft of your doctor to say it doesn't matter. (My GP also told me it is no longer necessary to fast, but when I saw that my trigs were higher than they had ever been, I chose to fast for subsequent tests, and sure enough my trigs went down, though not enough to give me a respectable total.)
