For children with no known risk for high cholesterol or heart disease, it is ok to have the test performed without fasting.
If a child has any suspected risk for high cholesterol or heart disease, then your healthcare provider may prefer a fasting test. Fasting usually mean eating no food and drinking no beverages other than water for 12 hours. Please ask your healthcare provider for their recommendations so that your child can have the most accurate test completed.
