Can you have non dairy creamer before a blood test?
That might depend on what the blood test is for. If you are doing fasting labwork for cholesterol or diabetes, it can effect the results. Even though the non dairy creamer is cholesterol free, it does contain sugars. These sugars can increase the fasting sugar level as well as the triglyceride portion of the cholesterol. It is recommended that if you are asked to be fasting for a lab, that you only drink water or black coffee prior to the lab.

Ok to drink water before fasting blood test?
A complete cholesterol test - also called a lipid panel or lipid profile - is a group of blood tests that can measure the amount of cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood. A cholesterol test can help determine your risk of atherosclerosis, the buildup of plaques in your arteries that can lead to narrowed or blocked arteries throughout your body. If your cholesterol levels are high, you probably won't have any signs or symptoms, so a cholesterol test is an important tool. High cholesterol levels are a significant risk factor for heart disease.You should fast (no food or liquids other than water) for nine to 12 hours before the test. You can drink water in the time leading up to the test, but avoid coffee, tea and other beverages.
