Question:

My question is regarding diabetes and fasting for lab work?

How long does your dr make you fast before lab work? My dr said 12 hours and that is nearly impossible because my blood sugar gets low at night. A friend said his dr said 8 hours and he is a diabetic also. I can see 12 hours for non diabetics but not for people with diabetes.


Answers:

I am a non insulin dependant diabetic and my husband is and insulin dependant diabetic you need to talk to the lab where you are going to have the test and explain your situation they can tell you how long--if it will be a huge problem for you call your doctor.
