I have to get blood work, I had a cup of coffee with a little cream this morning does that ruin my fasting?

A follow up a month later had it back where it has consistently been.
So dont freak out with a spike

Not the population here in NC mountains like the northern lakes. So its a treat when ya hook one.
Good luck in your results when a get to the lab.
Cheers.
