[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 419637, member: 19121"] I think a lot depends on what your "Total Cholesterol" number is like, if it is high then you will probably be offered a full lipid profile for which a fasting blood test is required to ensure that on postprandial trigs are present in the sample. If on the other hand your total cholesterol is not high or thought to be a problem then perhaps its not as necessary to have a full lipid test done. I havent had a full lipid test done for nearly years and my last one showed trigs of 0.5 mmol/L and were much the same on all the previous tests so I assume there no longer bothering with them for me, I would think that should my cholesterol shoot up for whatever reason they might send me for another lipid test. This is of course only my own theory on why I no longer have lipid tests done, so it is perfectly possible that I am talking rubbish... :lol: [/QUOTE]
