Blood Test

I am due to go for a blood test this afternoon. My doctor said that I must not eat or drink anything after 9pm (last night). Why is this?

It could be a Fasting Blood Glucose test to check for diabetes - eating food will cause your blood sugar levels to rise for several hours, before it settles back to its fasting level

For a FBG test you are allowed to drink water and clear, non sugary liquids such as black tea, sugar free cola etc
