If you dont fast before a glucose test then you will not get accurate results.
A fasting blood sugar test means that a person gives his/her blood sample while they are fasting to detect diabetes and prediabetes.
It indicates that you are non diabetic.
Fasting means that you have had nothing to eat or drink (except water) for 8 to 12 hours before the test. This will yeild best results and detect whether you have diabetes or not
This is because your body is not able to produce sufficient insulin.
