What about "fasting?"
Diabetics should never fast before the 9Health Fair because their blood sugar level may get dangerously low. Fasting for the Health Fair means not consuming any calories. It is important to continue to drink water while fasting so that you do not get dehydrated.
To get the most accurate cholesterol and glucose (sugar), you should fast for about 12 hours before the blood chemistry screening.
If you are unable to fast for 12 hours, your glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides may be slightly elevated. None of the other results will be affected.
It is important to continue to take your prescription medications.
Is there an age requirement?
Participants must be at least 18 years of age.
How long does it take to go through the 9Health Fair?
Most participants spend about 2 hours learning about their health. It can be 30 minutes to several hours depending on how amny stations you stop at.
Do you need an appointment?
