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.

What are the advantages of fasting before labs?
TO FAST OR NOT TO FAST?It is not necessarily an advantage or disadvantage to fasting before labs. It depends on what test the doctor is asking for and what results are needed with the blood drawn.If the doctor asks you to fast; he or she may be trying to determine your blood sugar levels while fasting or to see what your triglyceride and cholesterol levels are at the fasting time frame.Fasting can and should make a difference that is why we ask; however, if a patient is diabetic, overweight, or in poor general health the labs may be affected no matter what they do.K StansburyCentral Valley Medical
