nonfasting
Not without food
Nonfasting describes a state in which someone has eaten recently, as opposed to having abstained from food.
Medical tests often specify whether patients should be fasting or nonfasting: Your nonfasting glucose levels are slightly elevated.
A nonfasting blood draw can be done without dietary preparation.
