  • What will be cholesterol level after eating food?

    From Mike Dippel@999:1/1 to All on Sat Nov 8 13:52:54 2025
    Cholesterol levels don˙t change dramatically right after eating, since they reflect longer-
    term fat metabolism, but a non-fasting test may show slightly higher triglycerides and
    total cholesterol for a few hours.

    That˙s why doctors usually prefer fasting cholesterol tests for accuracy.

    I'll be doing that Sunday night into Monday. My doctor is going to
    chew me out for my weight, but when you're on a fixed income, you have
    to eat on the cheap.
