Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to HCM.
No, Ginger ale will not affect it and you can take it but dont consumde too large dosage. It is important to avoid fat rich food 24 prior to testing. Gigner has mainly sugars and this may raise blood glucose lvels but it wont affect lipids in blood. Wish you good health. Regards
