How to Prepare for a Fasting Blood Test

Fasting blood tests require careful preparation to ensure accurate results. Here is what you need to know before your appointment.

You should avoid eating or drinking anything except water for 8 to 12 hours before your test. This includes coffee, tea, and any flavored beverages.

Continue taking your regular medications unless your doctor advises otherwise. Inform your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you are currently taking.

Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water before the test. This makes it easier for the phlebotomist to draw blood and helps prevent dizziness after the procedure.
