Talk to your doctor if you have any questions regarding what you need to do 12 hours before a blood test; especially if they are screening thyroid levels in addition to a metabolic scan. If this is the case, some doctors will want you to fast and take your medication(s) as directed. Typically, if you are only having thyroid levels checked you probably won't be asked to fast. You will want to take your medication as directed, though.
