Question: From Largo, Florida, USA:
Can fasting cause you to fail the one hour glucose test? After eating fruit and a piece of birthday cake, my level was 158 mg/dl [8.8 mmol/L]. Is that a very high number to have after cake and fruit?
Answer:
In theory, you do not need to fast when taking the one hour glucose test. However, the results may be more accurate after fasting. Fasting will not make the test worse. A glucose value of 158 mg/dl [8.8 mmol/L] is elevated and requires more formal testing such as the three hour, 100 gram glucola test.
