Can I drink a cup of black coffee right before I get my annual blood tests?
Only water, or is black coffee ok to drink just before my annual blood work?
Answers:
Well, I'm definitely no doctor, so you can't hold anything against me but I work at a clinic in the Lab/Radiology Dept and usually when we people are doing labs that require fasting, black coffee is ok but the fancy stuff from like Starbucks and stuff isn't ok. I guess it depends on wether or not they told you to fast for this lab test. Labs that usually require fasting are ones that are like cholesterol checks and stuff like that. Like I said I'm no doctor, so it's best to check with them.
