Do I need to fast before completing a Healthy Heart Check?

Modified on Wed, 10 Jun at 11:34 AM

No — the PocDoc Healthy Heart Check is a non-fasting test. You do not need to avoid eating or drinking before completing your test.


Why doesn't PocDoc require fasting?

Many traditional cholesterol tests require fasting beforehand, however research has shown that non-fasting lipid testing is a reliable and practical alternative.
