I am going to a have a blood test today. Looking at the form last night I noticed a section for fasting lipids had been ticked. I have been fasting as I thought my cholesterol was going to be tested but the box has been crossed out. The blood test is described on the form as nonfasting. Should continue with my fast?

Yes, with any of these tests fasting is never a problem but not fasting can give less accurate results.
