A member asked:

Will drinking beer the day before lipid/blood sugar test effect the test?or will i be good as long as i avoid all food and drink for 12 hours?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Labs: alcohol can effect the triglycerides if you are a chronic drinker. Best to just be honest with your doctor about your habits so they have as much info as possible to interpret your labs and help you with your health.
