Fasting bloods tomorrow at 8am when do I have to stop eating by?

[MrsWho]

TIA

now!

8pm

my shopping has just come and I have been eating left overs all w/e

Midnight tonight is the norm here.

my GTT letter said midnight (though the thought of not being allowed to eat made me ravenous!)good luck

The Gp just said after tea but I know lots of people that eat 7-8 ish.

Iam really hungry now

it's usually 12 midnight but you are allowed to drink water so that you don't get dehydrated.

BUt all that nice food

I did this the other week and my GP said 11pm. Do drink some water though!

I was told 12 hours earlier.

I have been told 10pm the night before Good luck

It's 10-12 hours.

i was told 10pm and my app was for 9am

Mine is tomorrow too

My info says midnight.

I don't even know what they are testing for I'm not good with needles , hope I am ok after to drive to work

Are you pg? Is it gestational diabetes?

No, have high BP and they can't see any obvious reasons why.

I think fasting tests are normally glucose related.

or cholesterol.

Your blood will be tested for cholesterol levels as well as various other things - liver and kidney function, thyroid, blood sugar level etc

Good luck - it only takes a couple of mins! But do take a sugary snack or drink with you before you drive.

Me too was told nothing but water after 10pm and my test is at 10am so must be 12 hrs.

I'm not good withthe actual needles though (and havve that sortof blood that doesn'tcmoe outtoo[rolls eyes]) I'm more bothered that I may pass out

Thanks Mercy

Hope you survived MrsWho. Mine is at 9

I'm fine, took ages to get the blood out and I had to lie doen for a while but got to work ok
