The oral polio vaccine (OPV) AIDS hypothesis suggests that the AIDS pandemic originated from live polio vaccines prepared in rhesus macaque tissue cultures and then administered to up to one million Africans between 1957 and 1960 in experimental mass vaccination campaigns.
Fasting blood glucose test. Do not eat or drink anything except water for 8 to 10 hours before a fasting blood glucose test. These are used to diagnose diabetes, a condition caused by too much glucose (sugar) in the blood.
Other Considerations. Fasting for blood glucose tests may last as little as two hours, while most other tests need eight to 12 hours of dietary abstinence. Eat a balanced meal prior to your fasting period and again after your blood sample has been taken. Meet every criteria your doctor gives you, and if you make a mistake and take one of your supplements, let the laboratory technician know as soon as you arrive for your blood test.
