π©Έ Getting blood drawn soon? Do this, not that.
β
DO:
π§ Drink plenty of water. Hydrated veins are easy veins.
β° Follow your fasting instructions. Usually 8 to 12 hours. Water is fine.
π Wear short sleeves or loose sleeves.
π£οΈ Tell your phlebotomist if you faint, have hard sticks, or take blood thinners.
πͺͺ Bring your ID and your lab order.
β DON'T:
π« Don't skip water. Dehydration makes your veins hide.
π Don't eat if you were told to fast.
π· Skip alcohol the night before.
ποΈ No heavy workout right before your draw.
π Don't hide your medications. Some affect results.
One more tip: eat a little something right after if you fasted.
Save this for your next lab visit.
