Thanks for the advice Anne. I thought it was a total fast.... no water.... but I could be wrong on that. They said 10 hours and it was probably closer to 12 by the time I got to the lab because I had slept later then usual due to the seroquel. What a sleep that was! So nice to sleep.
When you are ordered fasting blood work, one of the most important things that you can do for your body is to keep yourself hydrated as much as possible. For that matter, keeping yourself well hydrated is very important because our water content is required for most of our organs to operate efficiently. Drink up!
