Question about blood work.
Let’s say you had a crappy diet and then changed it to being healthy. how long would you have to eat healthy before the results will show an improvement on bloodwork?

Too many variables to say. It could be within a few minutes, it could be weeks. It depends what conditions you're looking at, your general health, metabolism, exercise, what kinds of foods.... lots of things.

Hi, medical scientist here. HA1C (average reading of blood sugar)takes about 3 months to completely update. But that a rolling average so it starts to change day by day in small increments.
Glucose changes by the minute based on food consumption and activity so it's only a snapshot of that particular moment.But it's still very important because when fasting you should remain at certain levels if your body is processing sugars correctly. Cholesterol takes about 3 to 6 months to effect change using diet and exercise alone. Without knowing further details I would suggest 3 months.

@DoubleRings I'm meant the generic you, not you personally.
It takes a which depending on which value is of concern.

Depends on the "crap" in your blood work...
