The A1C test does not require fasting. You can eat and drink normally before the test. However, your doctor may order additional tests (e.g., cholesterol or fasting glucose) that require fasting. If so, they will provide specific instructions.
- A1C Test: No fasting needed.
- Other Tests: Follow your doctor's instructions for fasting if required.
