Blood tests during Ramadan: planning your sample

Opening hours, evening sampling and the check-ups to do before the month of fasting: what the laboratory adapts.

Hours change

During Ramadan the centres keep shorter days, and several also take samples in the evening, after iftar. Each centre's hours are on its page.

Before the month of fasting

People followed for diabetes or a long-term condition often have a check-up a few weeks before Ramadan, to talk it through with their doctor in good time.

The question of the fast

Whether a blood test breaks the fast is not a question the laboratory answers: ask a qualified person. The laboratory only tells you whether the test itself needs you to be fasting.

This article informs; it doesn't replace the advice of your doctor, who interprets your results.
