Hi there i had my choleterol results today which were total 5.4 ,my doc took my blood the other day for this test but i had not fasted i had eaten around a hour and a half before the test, tea and toast as i didnt know the doctor was going to check it .When i phoned for the result today the receptionist had told me 5.4 was very good because i hadnt fasted and most peoples results who havent fasted are over 6 .she told me not to worry and i could get a fasting test done in a few months .But i am still worried as i thought it should be under 5 but she said only if i had fasted for 12 hours.anyone else had this kind regards molly xx
