I am concerned because, I normally get shaky if I don't eat after I have been awake for a few hours. In the past when I have had blood taken, I have gotten weak.

If you tend to be hypoglycemic (low blood sugar), it is certainly possible that you may feel weak in the hours leading up to getting your blood drawn. The weakness is the hypoglycemia, though, not the blood test itself. I would suggest that you get the blood test done as soon as possible in the morning as the clinic will let you. Also, take a snack with you, so you can get some food in your system as soon as the blood test is done.

Normally no.Fasting blood sugar is usually requested in the morning so you will not feel the hunger.Feeling weak would be more of psychological matter.3 - 5 cc of extracted blood wouldn't do any adverse effect on you.Take note that blood donors give up to 500 cc of blood with no feeling of weakness.

Not always... Someone I know has to tk fasting blood tests cuz he is a diabetic. U need to fast for 24 hrs before the test. But if you have gotten weak before, its better for you tell your doctor abt this.

i got kind of dizzy, everything is brighter and i have to sit, so yeah you can feel weaker after blood is taken from you, but not all person has this problem, my bro for example just runs away before they get any blood from him (he hates needles)

Not very much. Maybe a little bit hungry, and everything should be alright as soon as we eat something afterwards.
