bullshit...it reeks havoc on my blood sugar..when i have to fast i will figure out the last hour i can eat and drink...set an alarm and get up..not having water that long is the hard part...
Is it a Lipid panel?When going to the doctor for blood work they ask you to fast for 12 hours. This is simple enough. I always do it. The problem is that I am caring for my dad. We get along all the time but I had a 12 hour war with him to get him to fast for blood work. He won the war and ended up eating about an hour and a half befor the doctor opened. Should I have just taken him anyway? I didn’t and plan to attempt this again. How big a deal is this? Am I just being a drama queen? To my knowledge my dad has weaseled out of this process for over 2 years. Should I put my foot down or should I just laugh at my dad for being a cute old man that doesn’t listen to anybody?

Don't withhold water, of course. Fasting is GOOD for blood sugar as it resets the metabolism.bullshit...it reeks havoc on my blood sugar..when i have to fast i will figure out the last hour i can eat and drink...set an alarm and get up..not having water that long is the hard part...
I was putting on some weight so I stopped eating dinner... I have a healthy breakfast... a big lunch and that's it until the next day... My bloodwork has improved and I've lost 10 pounds in 3 months...Don't withhold water, of course. Fasting is GOOD for blood sugar as it resets the metabolism.
I've gone in having eaten 4 hours earlier. No big deal, cholesterol and blood sugar was a little higher.When going to the doctor for blood work they ask you to fast for 12 hours.

I have never had blood work that required not drinking. AAMOF, the lab encourages you to drink. It makes drawing blood easier.bullshit...it reeks havoc on my blood sugar..when i have to fast i will figure out the last hour i can eat and drink...set an alarm and get up..not having water that long is the hard part...
Then I can leave him here to live by himself if he is a big boy. My mom passed on August 13. I have been living here with him ever since. He asks me to do dozens of things every day.If he doesn't want the blood work then that's his problem, not yours.

The blood work was their idea. It wasn’t mine and it sure wasn’t his. They require bloodwork ever 90 days before sending prescriptions to the pharmacy. Apparently they aren’t too strict about it though.Why not call his Dr & see what he says?
Fasting is important only for certain of the many tests they can do. Many tests do not require fasting.When going to the doctor for blood work they ask you to fast for 12 hours.
