No, you do not need to fast before an HbA1c test. This test measures your average blood sugar levels over the last 2-3 months, so it’s not affected by recent meals or fasting. This makes the HbA1c test more convenient compared to other blood glucose tests like fasting glucose or oral glucose tolerance tests. You can take it at any time of the day without any special preparation. However, inform your doctor about any recent changes in your medication or health.
