How to Prepare for Your Tests

🕐 Fasting Tests

  • Fast for 8–12 hours before: Fasting Blood Glucose, Lipid Profile, some Liver & Kidney panels
  • Water is allowed during the fasting period
  • Continue prescribed medications unless your doctor says otherwise
  • Best to come early morning after an overnight fast

General Tips

  • Bring your doctor's lab request form or prescription
