I was always told just plain water, sadly. I can drink the stuff like its going out of fashion, but when I have to fast, I absolutely hate it with a passion😛
 
i have a fasting blood test tomorrow as well been told plain water only. First thiong im going to do tomorrow afterwards is go into the cafe round the corner and have poached egg on toast and a sugar free drink

thanks for reply's i will just have plain water and think about people in Africa who would love to have water and food after only 14 hours.🙂

I had my fasted test this morning and I am always told to fast 12 hours before. I think as long as its before bed I dont think it matters 🙂
