What is Fasting?
The food and drink we consume impacts many levels in our blood. Fasting ensures a method to standardize results for the health care provider to make the best decision for the best outcome. Normal or reference ranges are generally established from fasting results. Fasting means no food or liquids other than water are ingested for 10-12 hours prior to blood draw.
