Do you fast for liver function tests?

It is considered best to fast but necessary.AnswerSupposed to be a 12 hr fast - except water or juicesThe above answer is wrong.Water is the ONLY thing that you can drink to satisfy the fasting criteria...8 hrs should be adequate.Liver function tests do not require fasting since the tests are not affected one way or the other.Juices generally contain sugars that affect other testing (like glucose). Lipid panels are often preferred in the fasting state since eating before the tests can affect the tests such as triglycerides, etc. Ask your doctor when the tests are ordered whether fasting is needed.

What are Patient interventions for blood glucose reading of 120?

it depends on when it was taken. 120 or less two hrs after eating is OK. Meaning in the non diabetic range. But if you were 120 first thing in the morning, after 8 hrs of fasting, then that is too high, probably diabetic range, and should be checked by a doctor, get an A1C test which will show an average of the past three months and it will let you know if you are diabetic.
