Answers:
I just had mine done, and you need to fast if you can to get the best reading.
The results take a minimum of 2 days, and you will probably get an executive profile from your doctor, reading other levels of chemicals in your body besides Cholesterol.

You should actually be fasting for 12 hours, and can have either black coffee without sugar or water prior to having your bloodwork. It was take approximately 1 day to get the bloodwork back. Provided that you do not have any other underlying risk factors such as hypertension or diabetes your numbers should be:
Total Cholesterol: <200
Triglycerides: <150
HDL: > 40 (higher the number the better)
LDL: <130

They take blood. And it takes a few days to get the results.
You should be fasting. No food or drink after midnight, I assume.?
Your doctor will explain all the results when you go back.
btw. Being in "good shape" don't usually matter. I thought I was too. And at 40, I almost had a stroke, and now I got a stent in my heart. They tell me I am lucky to be alive.
Good luck. Listen to your doc.Health Question & Answer
