A member asked:
If i don't fast for a test i need to fast for will it change the result of any other tests done along which did not need fasting?

Not usually: Certain tests, for diagnosing reasons are recommended to fast for, such as the lipid panel and a diabetes test for your Blood sugar. Other tests may net require fasting and "not fasting" will not affect them.

Fasting: No it shouldn't it will change the blood sugar and lipids for sure.
