I had one cup of tea 4 hours before a blood test is the test skewed now?

How long does one need to fast prior to a blood test I added 2 packets of sugar

Ah, it's the sugar that might be a problem.

12 hours. Tea with sugar is a no no, so you'll have to fast again.

@FoxyQueen internet says 8 to 12 hour fast maybe at 330pm ( 8 hours) is there anyway to ensure I get a valid blood draw?

@jehova You'd have to talk to the person who draws the blood. I don't know.

@FoxyQueen okay well thanks for the advice I will do just that
