How to prepare for your health check-up
3 June 2026 · 1 min read
A little preparation makes your results more accurate and your appointment more useful.
A health check is most useful when your blood tests are accurate and your doctor has the full picture.
Fast for 8–10 hours
Sugar and cholesterol tests need an empty stomach. Water is fine, and keep taking regular medicines unless your doctor has told you otherwise.
Bring your history
Bring a list of your medicines, any previous reports, and note down conditions that run in your family, such as diabetes or heart disease.
