I always eat and come back with normal ranges. I know I shouldn't be eating, but it's hard for me not to
Pretty important but I get very sick when I don't eat for that long =[
AnonLet's cross our fingers I don't get sick! I only have 3 hours left before the drawing begins!! Just watch out, I am Mrs.GrumpyPants this morning
Ask NITTI!!
It's my metabolism.. I start to feel like my stomach is eating itself ahhh I'm sure nitti is the same way.. And yeah I'm a real grump in the morning too
For cholest it DEF matters. I cheated and had eggs and coffee before my last test- they freaked and wanted to put me on Lipitor- ...when i confessed i ate, i had to have it all done again.

AnonVery important for some things like sugar and I believe cholesterol. Others like estrogen and testosterone are not affected. What are you checking ? If its a complete blood work up then dont cheat on the fasting.
AnonI am getting it alllll tested
