Why do you have to fast for 14 hours before a blood test?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi, my blood sugar levels are high. According to the latest test report, fasting blood sugar is 190 mg/dL and postprandial is 340 mg/dL. I am already on medication, but my sugar levels are still very high.

I am 16 years old and my weight is 81 kg. I am a PCOS patient. I did a lipid profile test, and some values are slightly increased. I am attaching my report for reference. Please check and tell me if anything is serious. Also, my ESR is a bit high at 67, while the normal range is 0 to 30. Please tell me if this is anything serious?
