Question:

I have a baseline medical exam today. I just ate a cliff bar will it screw up my results badly?

I totally forgot I had the medical exam this morning for work and ate a chocolate brownie cliff bar. Will it screw up my results badly? Should I tell them I ate something my appointment is in 1hour and a half.


Answers:

It will mess up your blood work. You should have been fasting. You should definitely tell them that. They will probably do everything EXCEPT the blood panel. If they are like most offices, they'll tell you to come in later in the week first thing in the morning after fasting for the appropriate period just to get the blood work done.
