As in the title really. I have been called up for a fasting blood test which is only done in the morning.
If I didn't eat from (say) 5pm the night before, wouldn't the body dump glucose into the system overnight meaning it would read high? That's before I'm given the glucose drink....
Wouldn't it be better to fast during the day and have the fasting test done late afternoon so I've had a chance to burn up the glucose by being active all day?
Am I missing something here?
