Drinking coffee before blood test can affect the results of tests that measure blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Coffee contains caffeine that is easily absorbed into the system at a fast rate. Caffeine can temporarily raise blood sugar levels resulting to an inaccurate fasting blood sugar (FBS) result.
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. Itâs also advised that you avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your fasting blood test, as well as any strenuous exercise.
