Advice please!! I've got a 'fasting' blood test this morning ....

[earlgrey]

... and before I remembered I had a cup of tea with milk and sugar in it. Anyone know if this is OK or should I ring and cancel the appt? I know I can ring and ask them but they don't open 'till 8.30 and if I've already blown it I may as well have some breakfast now, 'cos I'm starving!

TIA

ring and cancel you can't have milk and sugar black tea or herbal would have been ok HTH

Thanks NH. Grrrrrr...... How could I be so stupid. Before I head for the Alpen you are 110% certain, aren't you? I know you are, it's just me trying to justify my idiocy.

Well I always have to fast from the night before and only water to drink

Yeah, milk and sugar will have blown it, sorry.

I think black tea or herbal would be ok, but I'd just have water to be safe.

milk and sugar will blow it. They are not always happy with black either

I have had fasting blood tests as well. And fasting means water and nothing else (usually from midnight the night before). So go on and have your alpen, thenreschedule the test.

Thanks everyone. You were all, of course, absolutely right. Have rescheduled and am on my 2nd bowl
