*Pimp*_____le 0 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Are you supposed to fast before monthly bloodtests? I read on here where they said you should but when i went to get bloodwork done she said to me, "You ate today, right?" and she said that I wasn't supposed to fast. Could it screw up my results if I did fast and wasn't supposed to? Thx Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scorpio 0 Share Posted February 25, 2006 You ARE supposed to fast.. they need accurate data of the fat levels in your blood.Eating within 10-14 hours before the blood test results will skew the data. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kelly7219 0 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Fast!!! If you don't, you will not get an an accurate cholesterol level. It will read high....because it will show the cholesterol from the food you have eaten in the last 12 hours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ecko777 0 Share Posted February 26, 2006 hahah, you need to fast otherwise your triglycerides will be elevated and the doctor wont know whether the accutane is causing it, or the food you ate a few hours before your bloodtest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
