You need to fast 9 hours before testing.
For the high BUN you mean correct?

lol, i would but i found out im not diabetic at all....sugar levels are normal. now my BUN? Thats a diff story but my doc said all BBers she sees have a high BUN.
if i didnt fast wouldnt my numbers have been worse??? i had a glucosetest and a A1C test which is random and can be taken any time of the day...it measures your average blood sugar level for the past two to three months. It works by measuring the percentage of blood sugar attached to hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells. The higher your blood sugar levels, the more hemoglobin you'll have with sugar attached. An A1C level between 5.7 and 6.4 percent suggests you have prediabetes. Normal levels are below 5.7 percent. mine were exactly 5 percent after eating 2 hours before. doc knew i didnt fast and the reasons above is why he gave me that particuar test as well.....im sure he knows
as far as the glucose test, i scored 85 without fasting...wouldnt my numbers have been higher from not fasting??? if i fasted are you saying i could have been higher than 85?
If you didn't fast for your bloodwork then the blood sugar test is meaningless, so are many other values. Didn't they tell you to fast? Didn't they ask you at the time of the test if you were fasting? What did you tell them? You need to purchase a basic book on nutrition and educate yourself.
I was just referring to the glucose test, which would be inaccurate unless fasted. Depending on what you ate, and how long it had been since you ate, it could make the glucose test look better or worse. For example, if you ate enough carbs to spike your insulin pretty well, you would first seen higher numbers (worse) but then a little later see lower numbers (better).
I have no idea how fasting effects A1C, however, as long as you were clear with your doctor about not being fasted, I'm sure there isn't an issue.
