First thing in the morning after fasting from midnight. Eating a low fat diet the night before would be best too.

after fasting from midnight until morning. Nothing to drink but water. Have a professional blood test taken as this is more accurate.

Drawing of blood for cholesterol count is normally scheduled by 8AM after TOTAL (No food & No Water) fasting from Midnight to the time blood is drawn.. actually there is really no connection with the time, its just the human body can fast without adverse effect to the person from midnight to 8AM, since most people are at rest during this period and not likely to feel any hunger pangs..

fast 14 hours before you get it drawn and the results will be accurate

Current guidelines suggest that anyone over the age of 20 should have a cholesterol test. If you have a strong family history of getting high cholesterol earlier in life, as in conditions like familial hypercholesterolemia, your healthcare provider may want to test you sooner than this. Although these guidelines suggest that you should get your cholesterol checked at least once every five years, most healthcare providers will usually check your cholesterol at your annual checkup.
