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 effect does not fasting before a blood test have on cholesterol level results?

Not fasting before a blood test can lead to higher cholesterol levels in the results.

Skipping fasting may give an inaccurate reflection of your true cholesterol levels.

Can you drink black coffee before a blood test that requires fasting but not for blood work?

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.


Is coffee bad for high cholesterol?

Yes, in a round about way. Coffee has no cholesterol. Cholesterol in the diet only comes from animal products, no plants have cholesterol. Cholesterol is produced by the liver in animals. Coffee however does have cafestol which activates an acid receptor called FXR that affects how the liver regulates the cholesterol it produces, in effect elevating cholesterol levels in the blood. Cafestol is present in the natural oils of the coffee bean, paper filters used in brewing coffee can trap those oils and in effect reduce the cafestol in the brewed coffee.

Does giving blood lower cholesterol?

No is the simple answer. Cholesterol is for the most part evenly distributed in the blood and therefore when donating blood you take cholesterol with the blood. Your body will have a lower MASS of cholesterol but the CONCENTRATION of cholesterol has not changed, which is what is important for you I presume. However, when giving blood they encourage no fatty meals or food 24 hours before to avoid high levels of fats and cholesterol in the blood, which means you shouldn't e giving blood if you have high cholesterol.
