Type 2 Fasting blood test

Bit late as just eaten but I have my full blood test tomorrow, so lipids and hbaic.
I’m assuming 11.5 hours is enough time to fast?

Yes, 10 hours is a typical recommendation. You can drink as much water as you want and some people say that being well hydrated helps with easily providing the blood sample.

Yes, that is perfect. Drink plenty of water, which may help with the cholesterol results.

I will try this next time.... though at the moment I am on reduced nuts, when I found almonds are packed with O6 and very little O3 is proportion... time might tell if it is worth it.
