Depends on screening: We can only guess what one's "health screening" means. There are several billion people who can access HealthTap online, and so there are many varieties of health screenings. If a fasting blood glucose is involved, "fasting" means fasting. The next question is usually, "How long?" Fasting overnight is enough and is easiest. That means 8 hours, and it's ok tell the lab the number they want to hear.
