Can fasting labs be done at home?

Yes — this is one of the most common use cases. Patients fast overnight and the phlebotomist arrives first thing in the morning for a convenient, compliant draw.

Home fasting draws are ideal because the patient wakes up already in a fasted state, the draw happens before eating, and there is no travel that might break the fast or cause stress. Providers typically schedule early morning slots specifically for fasting lab orders.
