What Meds Should Be Avoided Before Taking Fasting Blood Test For Diabetes?
I am a diabetic who is supposed to take a fasting blood work test tomorrow. I am on Glucovance, Lipitor, Lisinopril and Atenolol. I also usually take Multi vitamin, Fish Oil and Cinammon supplements. Should I take all of these meds in the morning or only certain ones or none at all?

Once first sample is given take Glucovance and take your breakfast and after 2 hrs give second sample.
take multivitamins,fish oil,cinnamon after food as usually
take tab lisinopril and atenolol after food as usually
take tab lipitor during night after food daily
