This is late, but here is the info I'd follow:
Testing should be done when you are fasting. For 12 to 14 hours before the test, only water is permitted. In addition, alcohol should not be consumed for the 24 hours just before the test.
This is to get the best results, especially important if you are at the point where medications might be needed. So many of these meds come with side effects, and are best avoided if possible.
Hope this helps!

Good luck with your tests tomorrow Michelle! Hope you get good results!! In the past, I've been told nothing but water for 12 hours before the tests so if you have an 8am appointment, you should stop eating at 8pm the night before.
