[QUOTE="Grazer, post: 227867, member: 31362"] Correct, HbA1c does NOT need fasting. However, some HCPs don't seem to know this. My DSN insisted I needed to fast for HbA1c, (no other tests were being done at the same time), so I queried this with the senior practice manager, my GP. HE thought you did, but looked it up in his big book and confirmed it wasn't necessary after all. DSN just shrugged and said "Ok then". A "sorry, you were right" would have been nice, but hey ho. Another example of the fairly widespread lack of knowledge of diabetes among [u]SOME[/u] HCPs - don't all get up in arms! [/QUOTE]
