I took the test around 6PM. I ate oatmeal for breakfast, had coffee with sugar throughout the day, a Jr. Deluxe hamburger from Wendy's for lunch. No mayo, no fries, no soda.

Total cholesterol levels and HDL cholesterol can be measured in nonfasting individuals and recent food intake affects plasma total cholesterol concentrations less than 1.5%. However, plasma triglycerides can increase markedly after eating.

You blew the test completely...there is no sense in taking the test if you are going to artificially raise your levels for that short period of time. Did you tell them you had fasted? Might want to tell them the truth, because if your levels come back artificially high, you may end up getting treated for a problem that you do not have...

Umm a lot.
I work in a Dr office- and this guy forgot to fast (we had to re-schedule him)- and his triglycerides were sky high- and we were worried- come to find out he had eaten at burger king before his blood draw- Fasting is REQUIRED
The only think you may have is Black coffee and wate

The test is completely useless at this point. You need to fast - not eat anything - for at least 12 hours prior.

Uh oh, I think you just wasted your money. Could they not schedule a screening in a.m., after you fasted since midnight?
