Blood cholesterol, triglyceride and glucose levels are the most common tests that require fasting. Vitamin levels, such as vitamin E or A, also need to be drawn when the patient is fasting. Typically at least a 12-hour fast is required for cholesterol and triglyceride screenings.
Test Preparation Needed? In general, it is recommended that you fast (nothing to eat or drink except water) for at least 8 hours before having a blood glucose test. For people with diabetes, glucose levels are often checked both while fasting and after meals to provide the best control of diabetes. For random, timed, and post-meal glucose tests, follow your health practitioner's instructions.
