A member asked:
My doctor ordered a cmp, how long do i need to fast for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
12 hours: The cmp is a 'complete metabolic panel' which includes a blood glucose level. 12 hours of fasting is usually sufficient to get an accurate baseline glucose. This is used to diagnosis diabetes of other Insulin related diseases.
