I am going for a Glucose Tolerance Test, A!C, etc on Monday.  I have a very mild cold today.  Assuming that I am better by Monday, should I still have my test done?  How long does it take for the body to recover?
Thank you

Ditto caregiver. If no fever on day of test at least wear a face mask.

A cold should not make any significant difference in the results.

The bad thing is you may spread the cold to others in the doctor's office.

Stay home and postpone the tests if you are still contagious, until you feel better.
