HOW DO I PREPARE FOR THE SCREENING?

Here is how you can make sure to have a successful screening experience:

  • Although not required, we recommend fasting for at least nine hours prior to your screening; this includes all food and drinks except for water.
  • Failure to properly fast may result in inaccurate blood test results. (If you have a health condition, such as diabetes or pregnancy, or any other medical concerns, consult a doctor before fasting.)
  • Drink plenty of water to make it easier to give a sample of your blood.
  • Continue taking medications as prescribed the day of the screening.*
  • Arrive five minutes before your scheduled time.
  • Allow about 20 minutes for your screening.
    *Follow your doctor’s instructions for taking your medications, including taking them with food if necessary.
