However, blood tests that do not demand fasting may require you to omit certain foods from your diet altogether. Certain foods may influence the results of blood tests, thereby leading to a false diagnosis. The type of foods to avoid before a blood test depend upon the type of blood test that you are planning to undergo. Foods to Avoid Before a Blood Test Fasting for blood work usually begins 8 to 12 hours before the blood test. During this time, you are not supposed to eat or drink anything (though, some tests may allow drinking water). Given below are some foods that you should avoid for common blood tests.
Fasting for a certain length of time before a blood test is one way of ensuring that your test results are not contaminated by the food you've eaten. The Mayo Clinic notes that fasting may not be necessary to get an accurate reading on a cholesterol test, but most doctors will still ask that you fast for at least 12 hours before your appointment. For certain other kinds of tests, such as a blood glucose test, fasting is necessary. This test is done to check for diabetes, and it requires that you abstain from any food intake for at least eight hours before the blood is drawn. There are alternatives to this test for diagnosing diabetes, but according to howstuffworks.com, the blood glucose test is easy, fast, and inexpensive. Other types of blood tests do not require that you fast prior to the blood draw.
