Hello.
I'm having a glocose test next week that I have had before. I'm sure I I had a fasting blood test before but on the form I have now it says no fasting. Do you think I should fast anyway as they might have made a mistake?
 
No, I think you should follow the instructions on the form.

Which test is this?
If it is HbA1c then it is testing your average BG over about 3 months so fasting on the day makes no difference.
 
Is it an OGTT?

If so you don't have to fast. Just do what it says on the form. I have regular OGTT. I have never fasted for one yet.
