So, I stumbled out of bed, hit the bathroom and parked my ass on the couch. A bit later, Mr Sue--a very well-trained doting husband--brought me a cup of coffee and a protein bar, and wandered off to take a shower. (We will be all-day child caregivers starting at 6:00 today and tomorrow.)
A few minutes later, a naked Mr. Sue ran out of the bedroom into the hall. "I just stuck a protein bar in your face and you have blood tests today. Did I screw up?"
So...did he? Did I?
The paperwork does not call for fasting. But the tests include CMP +eGFR and CBC, in addition to Vitamins and Copper, PT/INR, PTH, Iron and TIBC, Ferritin, Thyroid Cascade, Magnesium...just noticed Vit D isn't there...BUT I'm having blood draw AT docyor's office.
Anyway! Besides the glucose stuff, what is going to get messed up by my NOT fasting?
I really want all my tests at once...and I really need the iron test now for my hematologist...so if it's only glucose, I don't care.
But what else will be off?
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
