Hello everyone.
Yes, me and my husband are due for blood test today. But unfortunately, I am not sure hubby can take it today because he has an important early meeting to attend to today.
When having a blood test, most likely one will need to fast for 8-10 hours before the blood will be taken. I have to remind myself that I am undergoing fasting. So I put a sign on our refrigerator so i will not get water. And boy I am already thirsty. 2 more hours and hopefully this fasting is done.
Did you have a hard time fasting before blood test?

@ilocosboy at least most part of it is at night, so it was okay but since I wake up quite early and I usually drink water then have coffee so I have to remind myself again and again.

Hope the blood results turn out good.
I have no problem with fasting. I regularly do 16-hour and 24-hour fasts every week.

@rakski yes it is IF.
I do it because I feel better after I fast.

@ridingbet I did not eat immediately. I went home and eat breakfast at home. I do not think I am hyperglycemic at all.

@rakski so, you ate after the laboratory examination, right? do you feel you are hyperglycemic?

I fast every day for more than 12 hours and so it is not a problem for me.

I have to have blood tests every 3 to 6 months. But I can take some water. Ask.
