[QUOTE="Ruth B, post: 674120, member: 111960"] HBA1C doesn't necessarily need to be a fasting test, but I thought cholesterol was better to be one. When I get the letter for my review (they do tend to check kidney, liver etc. functions as well) it normally says that it is better to be a fasting test, unless the diabetes is sever enough that fasting is dangerous. My best suggestion would be to ask when you book the blood test and confirm that it does not need to be a fasting one, either that or if you don't mind fasting, fast regardless and tell the nurse who draws the blood that it is a fasting one, they always ask me when they do mine.
