  • Please try not to eat before your appointment. That way we can get your cholesterol, and glucose tests done while you’re fasting. At least 6-8 hours is best, preferably 10-12.
Lab tests

There is a lab at MetroHealth so blood draws can be done in house. This saves the hassle of going to another facility. Please remember to fast at least 6-8 hours beforehand. If you have an afternoon appointment, you can return to the lab some other time when you have fasted.
