How to Prepare for Your Blood Test at FML Dubai

Preparing properly for your blood test helps us deliver the most accurate and reliable results possible. While specific instructions may vary depending on the test you need, here are some essential preparation tips to keep in mind:

Always stick to any special instructions provided by your doctor or FML’s expert staff for your particular test.
For tests such as blood glucose and lipid profiles, fasting for 8 to 12 hours is usually required. During this period, only plain water should be consumed to ensure precise results.
Refrain from smoking, consuming alcohol, or caffeine before your test, as these can affect test accuracy.
If you are voluntarily having the test, inform your physician or FML about any medicines or supplements you are taking.
Drinking sufficient water before your appointment helps with an easier blood draw and better sample quality.
Get adequate rest before your visit, wear comfortable clothing with sleeves that can easily be rolled up, and arrive a few minutes early for check-in.
If you feel lightheaded after the blood draw, FML staff can assist you, and it’s helpful to have a snack ready for after your test.

FML is committed to making your testing experience safe and as comfortable as possible. Don’t hesitate to ask our friendly staff any questions or concerns you may have when you arrive.
