Can I eat and drink water before checking blood glucose and lipids?

Try not to eat or drink before testing your blood glucose and lipids, as this is likely to affect the results.

It is best not to eat anything or brush your teeth or rinse your mouth for 8 hours before the test so that the measured values are accurate. The normal value of fasting blood glucose is between 3.9 and 6.1 millimoles per liter. If there is an increase in blood glucose, it is recommended to take another blood glucose test two hours after the meal to be able to clarify the insulin secretion.
