What's the minimum fasting period for glycemic blood test?i have hunger pains and i can't avoid to eat too long , maybe i can reach 7 hrs, enough?thx

A doctor has provided 1 answer

12 hours.: One may be asked to maintain a-12 hour fast and give the blood for testing in the night. See your doctor for other ways to test your blood sugar.
