Yes, you can eat before taking an HbA1c test, even if you’re on insulin. Unlike fasting glucose tests, the HbA1c test measures your average blood sugar levels over the last 2-3 months, so eating before the test doesn’t affect the result. You should continue taking your insulin as prescribed by your doctor. However, if you are undergoing additional tests, such as a fasting glucose test, you should follow the specific fasting instructions for those tests. Always consult your healthcare provider if you’re unsure about your testing preparations.
