Fasting before physical and is "black coffee" really OK - Page 2

For what it's worth, whenever I've had lab work that required fasting, they explicitly requested that I eat nothing and only drink water 8+ hours before the blood is drawn. They ask when I arrive, "Did you eat anything or drink anything other than water?" Just to be sure that test results aren't invalid, I don't eat after 7pm, don't drink anything but water, and arrive at 7:30am when the lab opens. I'm out in 10 minutes and back home for breakfast/espresso before 8am.iploya wrote:I had my physical earlier this week. I fasted before. I am always told I can drink pure black coffee.
