lunchtime blood draw

[Taminaone]

usual phlebotomist can’t come first thing to draw blood for test but can come lunchtime. Is that of any use even if I fast till then? Thank you for advice

Personally, I would re-arrange for an early morning blood draw, ie before 9am.

I always find it’s best to have consistent times for thyroid blood tess, for comparison purposes.

A patient- to- patient tip is that TSH is higher first thing, which is useful if GP/ endo focused on this reading.

Also, remember to drink nothing but water before the blood draw and take daily dose of Levo after the draw.
