Has to be an empty stomach, empty intestine.
one hour before meals/food is typical. The average empty time is
20minutes on an empty stomach. People with gastroparesis would have to lengthen that.
A large meal can stay in the stomach longer than 3 hrs, depending on what was in it.
So I think 1 hr before food, is going to be more accurate.
Also consider your tests. If you seem stable from year to year,
and your TSH is in the low end of the range, then whatever you are doing is working for you. But for people difficult to stabilize then the time of day taken, and all the rest is much more critical, for them.
