I have to get blood work, I had a cup of coffee with a little cream this morning does that ruin my fasting?

[Walleye]

Should I try putting it off to another day? She wants my glucose tested along with other things

1. I'd call your physician to be certain, but

I was always told that milk/cream/etc. affects your cholesterol and blood sugar at the least. Even a little bit.

2. Thanks I think I'll wait and try again Monday. I'm really into avoidance with medical things unfortunately

5. But.....

calling the physician....may take 48 hours or until Tuesday to get a return call....I always have to cross my fingers and leave several voicemail messages.

16. Yep it seems like all these time-saving devices take up all your time

[MOMFUDSKI]

3. I wouldn't worry about it.

Just tell the doc what happened. Your A1C tells your doctor a lot. That is 3 months of average blood sugar. And tell the blood tech

4. Thank you, the lab is open till 1:30 PM so I may try it

6. I made the

Mistake for an annual physical at the VA. My cholesterol level was a whole lot higher than normal.
A follow up a month later had it back where it has consistently been.
So don’t freak out with a spike

[Walleye]

9. Thank you that's good advice

10. Side note!

Walleye is by far my favorite fish to catch and eat.
Not the population here in NC mountains like the northern lakes. So it’s a treat when ya hook one.
Good luck in your results when a get to the lab.
Cheers.

11. I worked for a few summers on a commercial fishing boat for salmon in Alaska

We would catch a walleye In our net every now and then. Of course next to a sockeye salmon they’re not worth as much. My last name is Wall so I went with that and I’m a photographer so walleye seemed to fit

7. I'm due for lab work next week and I'll be fasting.

All I’m supposed to have since 10:00 the night before is water and since I hate getting this done, water is all I have. I’d re schedule, if it were me

[Walleye]

8. Thanks I think I'll try going Monday morning

12. Fasting means water only. I'd be less concerned about the coffee, but the cream is an issue for lipid panels...

and it is possible the caffeine could affect your fasting glucose levels--albeit unlikely to be too significant.

But the creamer is an issue.

[Walleye]

17. Thanks, I'm gonna try again Monday

[applegrove]

14. Yes. I. went to the lab for blood test last week and they asked if I had anything to

drink - even coffee.

[Walleye]

15. Thanks I decided to put it off until Monday morning and try and find some discipline

[GoodRaisin]

18. No. I do the same thing everytime I do bloodwork.

My doctor says it’s okay.

[Walleye]

19. Thanks it came out OK

[GoodRaisin]

20. LOL I didn't look at the date of your post.

Not even sure how I landed on it. But I am glad it worked out.

[Walleye]

21. That's OK, I guess it's pretty simple. I got arthritis. I'm starting physical therapy on Monday.

[GoodRaisin]

22. Good luck with PT.
