Can I eat something before medical?

[Boviesam]

Hey guys,

I am about to have my medical test in about 1 and a half hour. Please suggest if I can eat something. I am feeling hungry as hell.
If yes, what should it be?

You can eat anything you want. Don't stay hungry!

But I've read people saying that you should only drink water and keep yourself on fasting until your blood test is done to keep your bloodstream clear.
Isn't it true?

No fasting is required. When I registered for my medicals, in the instructions, it was specifically mentioned that "fasting is not required".

My doc told me no need for it. The things they're testing for are unrelated.

They check the sugar level from your urine sample. Blood is taken for HIV and syphilis.

Why did not you clarify that with your clinic in advance rather than posting it here? Would not it have been much easier?

You can have a light snack, a cup of not too sweet tea. For example, you can have a sandwich with cheese, and a cup of tea. Such a meal would not significantly change the results of tests.

It doesn't really matter what or how much you eat. Just don't go drunk.

You dont need to fast. Just drink lots of water as you need a urine test
