A member asked:
How long after taking prednisone do i have to wait for bloodwork (a1c, fasting sugar, liver function, routine tests)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No wait: Hgba1c may be a bit up because you've taken prednisone, fasting sugar will be unaffected a few days after stopping, and the other routine labs were unaffected.
