[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 227848, member: 19121"] HbA1c and total Cholesterol do NOT need to be fasting. Fasting is only required for a full Lipid panel count, Cholesterol breakdown into Trigs, LDL and HDL. And there is one school of thought that believes that even a full Lipid panel count does not require fasting, although I have always done so. I believe that fewer practices are now asking for a full breakdown probably due to costs, I haven't had one for over a year perhaps because my total cholesterol is 4.2. Yes I bet its down to the cost of the tests :roll: [/QUOTE]
