Why are people required to fast before a blood test?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

There were two HbA1c tests done one week apart. The first result was 5.6, and the second result was 5.7. If I am prediabetic, please suggest what to do next. Can it be reduced below 5.7 without prediabetic medications?

In a general checkup my fasting blood sugar was 107 and my urine report is normal. Is any treatment required or not?
