Mr. T lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. There is no special preparation needed for doing thyroid test. Ideally blood should be taken before 10 ma in the morning. There is no need for keeping fasting state. Breakfast can be had. TSH levels are best tested before 10 am, to get accurate values. Thanks.
