It's fine. No problem at all.

The Fasting and the Furiousing.

The 12 hours is probably more time than is needed for the levels of stuff in your to return to normal, they just say it to be on the safe side.

I'm currently sat here at work, as the night shift manager rang in sick so I'm staying on a while, and I must be tired as I really thought the thread was entitled Fisting. Imagine my disapoinment when it turned out it was about food.

Dayum! So did I...
OT: 12 hours is overkill for the actual medical tests. The chances of even 30mins-1hr affecting your test is minimal. It'll be fine.

So I make that 15 minutes longer.
Be careful because after 11.05am you will drop dead of malnutrition.
Man of Honour
That extra 15 minutes will make your test positive no matter how ill you are.
They said don't eat 12 hours before, eating at 11:05pm the night before, for a medical at 11:20 the next day, means it has been a 12 hour and 15 min length of time, thus deeming you as over the allotted fasting time.
For some reason this reminds me of pensioners on trains, who realise that the journey is longer than an hour so they worry and pack a full picnic lunch and tuck in the second the train leaves the station, regardless of the fact it's 10am and they're not even hungry. You won't starve!
Lol.
Well, all done. I can remove the cotton pad and sticky tape from my left arm in a few minutes. Isn't it silly how we worry about things like jabs, then it's over in a matter of seconds

I wish you a speedy recovery without complications.

I'll leave my address for get well cards and presents
Don't worry, i scrolled past the thread 4 times and each time my brain read it as fisting.
Quick update. Went to my doc just now and she was very happy with my results of the blood test that have been returned. Glucose levels very good she said, value 4.4. They only start worrying over a value of about 7. No anaemia, kidneys and liver fine, normal white blood cell count and a bunch of other things on the screen all absolutely fine, so that's good. The most surprising thing is when she just did another blood pressure test. 134/88. I'm like wtf? It was 150 last time on the 3rd attempt, and 166 on the first. Not bad then for my age, over 50.
I'm guessing a lot of that was stress due to my mum being ill recently.
But also, I've really cut down on salt and garbage food in the last two and half weeks, so I'm wondering if that has made the biggest difference, in which case, I'm just gonna continue to keep salt and crap food to a minimum. I've mostly been eating chicken, fresh brocolli (I did slightly salt the water) and jacket spuds, and hardly any sweet stuff, no cakes, biscuits and sweets, just very occassionally.
