Best Answer

No. It is best to fast 8hrs before a blood test. If you have to take prescribed medication before blood work, it is best to take that medication with a small glass of water. Any food or liquid that you introduce into your body before a blood test is performed will cause innaccurate results because your physician is looking to determine baseline levels, not baseline levels plus the effect of coffee.

I would imagine that the coffee is not something that you have to drink so I would just stay away so that you spend your money on the most accurate testing and medical advice that you can get.

Can you drink black decaf coffee before a blood test?

User responses: No. From what I have read caffeine does affect cholesterol levels and/or the way they can be interpreted when reading results of a cholesterol blood test. I would suggest that you be clean of any caffeine - three or more days ahead of time - to obtain a caffeine-free result.Advice seems to vary. Some say that black coffee (no sugar, no milk) is fine. Sources for that listed below.
