Depends on the procedure. If it's a simple skin excision with local anaesthesia, then no fasting needed. If any sedation is being used (such as with bone marrow biopsies, endoscopies, simple gynaecological procedures) then 8 hours of fasting again (with sips of water okay).While you are at it ... If an anaesthetic will be used? ( When procedure nowhere near the gut, no fasting?). Types of anaesthesia?
After our trip to NZ in Feb I have had some problems with my lungs, with pneumonia and a pleural effusion and now a persistent cough. My GP referred me to a respiratory physician - but the first one wouldnt see me and only sees sleep apnoea problems now !! So the referral goes to the second one & they phone me and offer me an appt at the end of May. I say I am going OS on the 5/5 and wont be back till 27/6. The secretary says you live at 4 xx_ St I say yes, she says I used to live at 6 xx_ St - we talk about her parents, and I get an appt for 3/5 FINALLY = TKWIA !!!
Which reminds me, have you recovered now Flashback?

Don't know much about Cherry Juice and the associated claims, but in general diabetic suitability would depend on sugar content. Anything that is marketed as a "Juice" is suspect in my view.Anyone heard of cherry juice to help with gout?
Is it ok for diabetics?
thanks,
Mostly these "experiments" would not survive proper the usual rigorous statistical analysis applied to any study.For anyone who doesn't watch the BBC's Trust me, I'm a doctor may care to browse here: BBC Two - Trust Me, I'm a Doctor - The BIG experiments including the links down the bottom of that page, for other aspects covered.
What do our medicos think about the program (as broadcast, which is a bit different from the web site) ?
PS looks like I was wrong about the 'cherry juice' story on that show.
Farxiga the brand name of a medicine of the "Gliflozin" family. In this case Farxiga = DapagliflozinI am now on Forixiga which my cardiologist prescribed to get my blood sugar down. I have had blood sugar readings between 6.2 and 7 but he wants to lower it with this prescription medication due to my artery history.
The stated side effects possible haven't happened.
