[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1626900, member: 94045"] As your HbA1c test will (or at least should) include cholesterol and a full lipid panel, you would be wise to fast anyway. A non-fasting test does affect the levels of triglycerides, particularly if you have had a fatty meal/snack beforehand. This is a well known fact, not just my opinion. As for accepting everything doctors and nurses say without questioning it, I stopped doing this 5 years ago when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Since then I have always asked for every print out available, copies of letters from the hospital to GP, and copies of all my biopsy and operation lab reports. Doctors are too fond of filtering out information for whatever reason, and declaring us as "fine" or "OK" when in fact we may be teetering on the edge of not being - and I need to know that so I can do something about it.
