Hi Everybody,

I know this is probably a dumb question but can anybody tell me whether it would be ok to have black coffee before fasting blood test. The thought of a two mile walk to GP in hilly Devon on a glass of water is quite daunting.
 
If you are T2, then water is all you are allowed. However, if you are on Insulin, then you don't have to fast :crazy:
 
On my fasting tests I did enquire about coffee, was told ok as long as its black with no sugar, lucky for me thats how I have it.
