fasting for bloodwork
tomorrow I have a physical and will be having my blood drawn for thyroid, cholesterol, etc. conveniently, the clinic has not sent me any literature on my fast (which I know is required). I called, but since it was after hours, the nurse answering the phone seemed a bit unsure and told me to fast for 14 hours.
I have heard from others, they were told 9 hours. I researched a bit too, and found times ranging from 8-12 hours. Does anyone have any experience with fasting for bloodwork?

Usually it's 10-12 hours they require.

I did some blood glucose and other assorted tests recently, and it was to not eat for 10 hours.

another question.. is it better for your first meal after the fast to be a bit smaller, since your metabolism will be a bit out of sync? or is it safe to have a regular sized meal after not eating for 11 hours?
