We congratulate Sidhu and Naugler1 on their article lending support to nonfasting lipid profiling. To inform the care of an individual patient, Sidhu and Naugler1 focus on the average population-level impact of nonfasting on lipid levels. However, to help bring their results closer to the bedside, patient-level considerations must be highlighted.
