How long does one really have to fast before taking a Fasting Blood Sugar test to measure the blood/sugar level. I went for a physical today. All I had was a couple of toasts and water all day at around 8:30am in the morning. I had my physical at 3 pm and when my doctor asked if I had anything to eat, I told him..just a couple of toasts and water. He said, fine..I can go to the lab (located at his office's building) and get my sugar level tested. So, I go there, get ready for the test, but the person who does the blood draw says, I can't take it because I had something to eat before 8-12 hours. This is conflicting answers as the doctor said it was ok, but then I get turned away when trying to get the test done. So...what's the correct answer? thx.
