Doctor ordered a lipid profile test and you're confused about what you can or cannot eat before the test?
Understanding lipid profile preparation ensures accurate cholesterol readings:
→ Fast for 9 to 12 hours before the test; only plain water is allowed during this period.
→ Avoid alcohol for 24 hours prior as it temporarily elevates triglyceride levels significantly.
→ Continue regular medications unless your doctor specifically instructs otherwise for the test.
→ Schedule morning appointments to make fasting easier; most labs accept samples until noon.
