You need to fast if your doctor has ordered a fasting test. This means that you cannot eat anything and may only drink clear water for 8-10 hours prior to your test. You should continue to take your medications, unless otherwise instructed by your doctor. Some common fasting tests include: fasting glucose, fasting lipid panel, and testosterone.  If you are uncertain about whether or not you should fast, please contact your healthcare provider by sending a secure message on TOL.

The COVID-19 Screening Hotline is 520-533-2997. The number will be answered daily between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. If you call outside those hours, please leave a message, and a preventative health nurse will return your call the next day.

If your doctor did not tell you how long to fast, you should not eat anything and only drink clear water for approximately 8-10 hours prior to the test.

If you are unable to provide a urine specimen, return to the registration desk and turn in your urine cup. The test will be re-ordered, and you may return to the Laboratory when you are able to provide the specimen.
