If you need to fast for bloodwork, does it make a difference what chunk of time you fast for?

Asked by poofandmook (17320points) April 30th, 2010

The instructions say not to eat anything or have anything other than water after midnight. But if I were to fast from, say, 8am and had blood drawn in the evening, would it make a difference as long as I had been fasting for 8 hours?
