If you are having a fasting blood test you should fast for 12 hours before your test. We advise you to not eat anything after 8pm the previous night.

You MUST, however, continue to drink plain water (but not tea/coffee/fruit juice etc). Dehydration makes it difficult to take your blood. 

You may want to bring a snack with you to eat following your fasting blood test.

Bring your medication with you if you are a diabetic so that you can take it immediately after the blood test.

Typical fasting blood tests are:

Blood glucose - used to test for diabetes. 

Iron - used to diagnose iron deficiencies. 

For more information about blood tests, visit Lab Tests Online.

Specimens must be left with reception before 11.30 and all bottles must be clearly labelled and sealed in a plastic bag. Insufficient labelling will result in the specimen being refused by the lab and another sample taken. The reception team will be happy to help you make sure it is correct before it is sent off to the lab.
