Fasting Blood Test. If youâve ever had your cholesterol or glucose levels tested before, you know that food and drink intake can affect the outcome of blood tests. That's why a fasting blood test usually requires that you avoid all food and drinks except water for 12 hours before your screening.
Blood glucose tests are either random or fasting tests. For a fasting blood glucose test, you canât eat or drink anything but water for eight hours before your test. You may want to schedule a fasting glucose test first thing in the morning so you donât have to fast during the day. You may eat and drink before a random glucose test.
