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.
Here are some guidelines for fasting for a blood tests: 1  It is important that you do not eat or drink anything but water. 2  You should not chew gum, smoke, or exercise before your test because all these activities can stimulate your digestive system and affect test results. 3  Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before your test.
