No, you do not need to fast before an A1C test. The A1C test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months, so fasting is not required. However, your doctor may order additional tests (e.g., cholesterol) that require fasting, so it's best to confirm with your healthcare provider before the test.
