Fasting glucose levels
How many hours of gap should be between night's dinner and next day fasting glucose test? I had my dinner at 9 yesterday since I have a scheduled fasting glucose test in the morning at 7 a.m today.But i forgot about the test schedule and attended a late birthday party and had cake,biryani and starters at 1 am.So my fasting glucose turned out to be 107.Should i consider that reports as valid or go for test again as there was only 6 hrs gap between dinner and test? Please advise.

Hi., I can understand your concern.
Your sugar levels seem fine.
