Will eating one blackberry in the morning affect the results of a "fasting" blood test?


Question:
I was supposed to have a fasting blood test this morning but forgot & ate one blackberry while walking the dog this morning. Will this matter?
The test is for cholesterol (doctor's notation says VAP Cholesterol LpLla2)? My last real meal was at 7:30 last night. How long should I wait now?

Answers:
when cholesterol is checked, blood sugar is also checked because they compare blood sugar with trigylcerides, so yes, that black berry will skew your results, would reschedule the test for another day when you have fasted for 12 hours prior.
go or call the doctor and ask him
Yes it will, if your not sure call the lab to ask what time you are to stop eating if you are to be fasting. you can only drink water.
