A member asked:
I drank a cup of coffee with cream and artificial sweetener before a blood test for diabetes, will this show up as diabetes?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, but: Yes it can, particularly if they also do an hba1c, however the calories in the coffer w/cream can falsley elevate your blood sugar. It's more accurate when totally fasting.

Fasting: It is imperative to be fasting for at least 9 hours, preferably 12 hours before the test.
