I work in a lab and we always tell our patients that they can drink black coffee with no sugar and no cream. So yes you may have plain, black coffee. The cream and sugar from the coffee would falsely elevate your cholesterol.
If you drink too much caffeine you may become The Great Cornholio and need t.p. for your bunghole! :) But in all do seriousness, as long as it is black with no sugar and especially no creamer, your test will be accurate. Just be sure it is straight black coffee though, nothing else added.
It's best to avoid adding non-dairy creamer to your coffee before a cholesterol blood test, as these products can contain ingredients that may affect test results. To ensure accurate results, it's recommended to fast for at least 9-12 hours before a cholesterol test, drinking only water during this time.
It's best to fast for 9-12 hours before a cholesterol test, which means avoiding any caloric intake including coffee with cream or sugar. Black coffee is generally okay, but it's ideal to stick to water to ensure the most accurate results.
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.
You should be able to drink coffee before a CBC (Complete Blood count) test, unless your doctor ordered additional blood tests and tells you to not drink after midnight (NPO=nothing by mouth).

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.
No. People often drink coffee before, during, and after drinking beer.
First of all, elevated cholesterol is not caused by caffeine, so you can relax. You don't have to stop drinking coffee. The increase in cholesterol is believed to be caused by oils called terpenes that are found in coffee, but are mostly removed by filters.People who use a French press or percolator to make their coffee, or who prefer espresso or other varieties of unfiltered coffee, should monitor their cholesterol levels to be sure they are remaining normal -- especially if they drink more than two to three cups per day. People who have elevated cholesterol already should definitely switch to filtered coffee.
