What to know about fasting before your lab test. With certain blood tests, you may be instructed to fast for up to eight hours before your appointment. Fasting before a blood draw means you donât eat or drink anything except water. Donât wait until the day of your blood draw to ask if you should fast. That could cause your appointment to be rescheduled.
NO fasting is fasting 12 hours or 16 hours its still fasting. no error because you fasted for 15 instead of 12 hours. Test first thing in morning [fasting] then 2-3 hours after a meal [postprandial]. The latter tells you how the foods you consumed affected your glucose levels.
