Forgot to fast for blood work

[VadersFist]

Just went in for my latest round of blood test and I forgot to fast. How much will this really affect numbers? Had eggs and a piece of sourdough toast, so nothing crazy. This was about 3-4 before the blood test.

Well, the good news is you can just use it as a reference point and compare it for future data

Depends on the test. Some require fasting and some don't. The ones that require it will be garbage data.

It may impact triglycerides a little.

Depending on type of LDL test it may be affected, some don’t need fasting.

Other than that it’s not going to be meaningful.
