I have a fasting HbA1c test each year as part on my T2 check up. My wife's GP wanted a series of blood test for her and her HbA1c was non fasting. Do fasting and non fasting tests give the same results. I assume that my fasting test is to get a separate result from the HbA1c.

HbA1c testing
HbA1c test can be done while fasting or after food.The test gives the result of average BS level during past about three months and not as at a point of time.
My doctors surgery has a thing about fasting and ask for no food for 14 hours before.
I was sent away once as I had only fasted for 10 hours.. Another time I had Green Tea and was told that was not allowed.
They seem to be the only surgery with that rule. The hospital say 10 hours when it has been done there.
No need for fasting for HBA1C....
No special preparation is needed. The food you have recently eaten does not affect the A1C test, so you do not need to fast to prepare for this blood test.
