Orientation blood work question
The pkg received at orientation has a page to give to your doc to get a requisition for blood work. My doc will actually take the blood and send it away for me so I don't have to go to a blood clinic. I have an appointment to see her Tuesday morning. My question: is this blood work fasting or non fasting? You'd think they would mention it on the page but they don't. I just don't want to show up there and be told that I should have eaten or should not have eaten and have to get the requisition and go another day to a blood clinic.
Any insight on your first blood work request would be great, thanks!
The blood for the baraitric centre is fasting. I just had mine done and I was lucky I fasted because they asked me if I had fasted and I had. Nobody had told me I had to fast.
