My doctor told me to fast and then come in and have my blood drawn. Does fasting mean no water? It is for somekind of sugar test.

Water is ok, but limit it. Typically, you want to have no food or liquids (other than water) for 8-12 hours so that you get accurrate results. If you eat or drink anything too close to having the labs done, it can effect the test.

I have one of these tests every two weeks. Water is ok. But don't over do it on the water.

You can drink water, but just what you need to not be thirsty. Don't drink a ton to keep away the hunger cause that can dilute the sample.

i am myself a muslim amd fasting in the real sense maens 2 go without food and water. so if u fast u cant eat and drink 4 a day and break it only after sunset. it will earn u blessings and will help u with diabetes. the rest u can consult with ur doctor.

Drink water, not to do so will mean your blood will thicken up and you will get false results
