If dinner is the last thing you eat for the day, you'll have fasted for 10-12 hours by an early morning lab draw. However, if you're a late-night snacker, you'll have fasted maybe 6-7 hours. Usually, 6 hours is the minimum amount of time in which to perform any fasting test (at a hospital, anyway). But...the longer the better. usually blood tests are done in the morning in a fasting state meaning that you shouldn't eat anything 8-12 hours prior to the testing.
