If you drink water, the same will be absorbed in the blood. If your blood sugar is 180 mg/dL or above, the excess glucose will be leaked out along with urine. However drinking of water before the test will affect fasting blood sugar level.

No,

It will not increase or decrease the fasting level. Guaranteed

One glass of water is ok.. one liter of water will dilute 5 liter body blood .. say by 20 %...Hence it might show less fasting sugar by approx 20 %...If actual is 100 Mg/dl... it might show 80...

Too mathematical. The water will be absorbed gradually and the speed of absorption will depend upon body requirement. Any excess water will be passed in urine.

However these are technical questions. Someone should study the effect of excessive water drinking on bs.

Thyrocare suggested, can drink only one glass of water before giving sample in the morning.and it is better you don't drink at all to know your precise values. This also applies when you check on home glucose meter.

When you drink a lot, you’re not going to increase your blood volume that much. As soon as the water you drank started getting absorbed, your body would sense it, and start excreting dilute urine to keep your salt concentrations ok. Drink too fast, and before your blood is diluted to any real extent, you’ll have brain swelling, seizures, coma and death because you screwed up your sodium level.
