Frequently asked questions
Do I need to fast for all diabetes tests?
No. Only fasting glucose and oral glucose tolerance tests require fasting. A1c and random glucose do not.
How long until I get results?
Typically 1–3 business days, though some clinics provide results sooner.
Can I eat or drink before the test?
Water is fine. If fasting is required, avoid all food and drinks except water for 8–12 hours.
What if my result is outside the normal range?
A single result does not diagnose diabetes. Your clinician may repeat the test or order others to confirm.
