Is this a fasting blood test?

I am having a blood test tomorrow and looking at the form, it doesn't say if it's fasting or not.

Amongst other things I have:
(GLX) Glucose (Fluoride)
(FLIP) Lipid Profile

Anyone know? I've tried googling GLX but get no results relating to anything called GLX!
 
If you are having a full lipid profile then it's best to water only fast for 12-14 hours beforehand to get a "clean" reading.

That's assuming you care about your cholesterol levels.
 

yes it is! I am certain that it would have stated on the request form to be a non fasting test!
