As a general rule, patients should avoid eating or drinking anything other than water during the 12 hours prior to any blood test. Blood tests specifically prohibiting alcohol consumption in the 24 hours prior to the administration include the triglyceride test and the gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) test.
Tell the person scheduling the test that you have diabetes and you'd like to be first in the morning's appointments. Drink plenty of liquids up until the time you're supposed to stop. Try to drink about 10 to 12 cups of water or other sugar-free, caffeine-free liquid the day before the test. Test your blood sugar before you leave home. If it's less than 70, eat your normal breakfast and reschedule your fasting test for another day.
