Our laboratory does not require you to fast before blood tests, however for certain blood tests such as a ‘Hba1c’ (Test for diabetes) you may get more accurate results if you fast. If you have been recommended to fast by a healthcare professional then we would suggest you follow this advise. If you wish to fast for your blood test, do not eat anything for 8-12 hours before your blood test. You are allowed drink water in this time.
