Concerned about?: Are you concerned about being diabetic or about fasting for 12 hours? If you don't feel you are able to fast for 12 hours, you should discuss with your doctor. Since you are on no meds, then likely your doc feels you would be able to handle it. Presumably you will get an early am draw so you will not exert yourself to lower bs. Most people can be ok without having to eat during sleep.
