How should I prepare for a blood test appointment?
Preparation for a blood test may vary depending on the specific test being performed. In general, it’s essential to follow any fasting instructions provided by your healthcare provider, especially for tests such as fasting blood sugar or lipid profiles. Fasting typically involves abstaining from food and drink for a specified period, usually overnight.
