Do I need to fast for my blood tests?
If you are coming in for pre-physical lab tests, then the answer is yes. Please have only water, black coffee or black tea for 12 hours prior to your blood test. Be sure to drink water so the nurse can find your vein and make the draw as simple as possible.
If you are coming in for a follow up on any liver tests, such as cholesterol, you also need to be fasting.
