Valid number: A young, healthy adult can do his fasting blood sugar screening test at 10, 11, 12, or 13 hours after last eating or drinking anything with calories, and his test result should be valid. We don't do random (we just do fasting) blood glucose screening tests on normal, healthy adults.

I am going to check my lipid profile test. Laboratory says it requires 12hours fasting.Can I perform blood sugar level test with same sample of 12h fasting or I was reading on net 8 hours of fasting is required for glucose level test or must be 8h?
I'm pre diabetic so check often. When I went for blood work, I tested at home and my fasting glucose was 88. Three hours later at lab was 106. Still fasting. Why the variation in readings?. My meter is within the parameters of the strips?
Is it true that fasting of 8h is must for blood plasma glucose level testing. One doctor said that fasting more than 8h give heigher values. I did about 13h and got 82mg/dL from lab. Now I do not need Hba1c or any test right?
I get an average blood glucose reading (over weeks) of 5.3 mml on my OneTouch Ultra and a 6.3 one shot at the Lab. Discrepancy?
Wondering what can cause rise in blood glucose while intermittent fasting, I had recent lab work that included A1C of 5.5. I have heard the fasting can cause a glucose rise from falling insulin levels and increase urine output (water loss). Accurate?
