I worked at TransCare for the last 5 years of the company's existence. Went in knowing nothing about medical billing/coding & after 5 years I went from Customer Service to a Medical Billing Specialist.
Can i brush my teeth while fasting for hdl test? QUESTION: Can i brush my teeth while fasting for hdl test? There is no scientifically proven theory on brushing your teeth while fasting for HDL test. However, some doctors prefer to advise their patients on not to brush their teeth while fasting for HDL test or before the test for glucose tolerance.
Your levels of triglycerides (another type of fat in your blood) may also be affected by a recent meal. But you donât need to decide whether or not to fast; your doctor will tell you if you need to. If they say you should fast, theyâll likely suggest that you avoid eating for 9 to 12 hours before your test. For this reason, cholesterol tests are often scheduled in the morning. That way, you donât have to spend a whole day hungry while waiting to have your test.
