Can you have non dairy creamer before a blood test?

That might depend on what the blood test is for. If you are doing fasting labwork for cholesterol or diabetes, it can effect the results. Even though the non dairy creamer is cholesterol free, it does contain sugars. These sugars can increase the fasting sugar level as well as the triglyceride portion of the cholesterol. It is recommended that if you are asked to be fasting for a lab, that you only drink water or black coffee prior to the lab.

Can you chew tobacco before a fasting blood test?

Found this online:First, wait for any lab testing until you are healthy. Even if you have a cold, it can affect results. Fasting tests require nothing by mouth except small amounts of water for 8 to 16 hours (call your Doctor's office to find out the number of hours he/she wants you tested at specifically). This means:NO SMOKINGNO GUM (not even sugarless!)NO TUMSNO BREATH MINTSNO TOOTHPASTENO COFFEE (not even black!) Also, do not EXERCISE during the fasting period. Violating these rules will affect the reliability of test results. (You can eat normally in the days before the fast.)
