The lady that takes my blood at Quest, told me different drs. have different fasting times, some 8, some 10 and some 12. I usually go between 10 to 12 hrs., and always eat a light supper the nite before, before 6, and then drink water the rest of the nite. She also told me to drink a small glass of water before going down, as you get a little dehydrated from fasting, so it makes it easier for them to draw blood if you have a small glass of water.
I'm not a drinker, so that part has nothing to do with me, but I did forget once and about 10 p.m. had some cottage cheese. When I went I told the gal, and she said don't worry about it, and it was the best set of numbers I had in 2 years, so go figure? I think a small piece of steak with maybe a salad and some veggies would be ok, but DEFINITELY skip the fries!! Fries should actually be one of the foods you avoid period, not just at fast time.
Good luck, hope the next test is good....
