What can a patient take during the fasting period?

In this video, Dr. Suman Kirti, Endocrinologist, Holy Family Hospital, New Delhi will talk about what can a patient take during the fasting period? During the fasting period, the patient can have plain water. Patients cannot have tea or black tea as the caffeine will stimulate the increase in blood glucose level. Thus, for proper blood reports during fasting blood sugar levels, patients are asked to avoid having any beverages or juices except for plain water.
