Do I need to fast before my blood test?
Fasting requirements depend on the specific markers included in your program. Some tests — particularly those measuring blood glucose, insulin, lipids, and certain hormones — require an overnight fast of 8–12 hours before your blood draw.
Your pathology referral and confirmation communication will specify whether fasting is required for your test. If you're unsure, contact support@getlimitless.health before your appointment.
General fasting tips:
- Water is fine to drink during a fast
- Take any regular medications as normal unless specifically advised otherwise
- Book an early morning appointment to make fasting easier
- Avoid strenuous exercise the morning of your test if you're fasting
