A member asked:
Would not eating for 2 days affect my a1c test ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: The A1c reflects about 3 months of glucose metabolism. A short period of fasting is unlikely to have any significant effect, but it might have a minor one. I doubt anyone has published data on this type of action.

Good evening! Received my blood test results back and everything was fine except my glucose level of 106. Normal range 70-99. I was fasting but I was also chewing two Pieces of regular gum during the draw. Is this concerning? A1C -normal, mean glu 97?
A1C of 5.6, (previously was in the range for prediabetes, but it dropped on my recent a1c test) but my sugars are so low that I almost pass out. My lowest has been 23 recently and it keeps falling- even though I'm eating the right foods and enough?
