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.
How to Fast. If you are required to fast prior to your blood test, you should receive specific instructions. Most cholesterol and triglyceride tests require fasting for 12 hours prior to the blood draw, while fasting blood glucose typically requires at least an 8 hour fast. Most people have fasting lab tests completed early in the morning, so if they need to fast for 12 hours, they can be sleeping for most of the fast.
