And yes, I do not fast for routine bloodwork. I've been to specialists that seem clueless compared to general practitioner, so really not into specialists here. If I can go to general, that is who I will see. She is actually an amazing doctor. They just all have their ways of doing things...
ok thanks for clarifying - interesting I will ask my doc next time about that as well. My gyno is awesome here as well she is the first woman director of our hospital which is in the top hospitals in the country for heart surgery. My dad had open heart there so i checked it out prior I am going to call her too as my curiosity is up about that as I have always been told to fast even with my surgery the hospital made me fast.
