I work for PAML laboratories.  No fasting required for the 1hr. If your happen to fail, then you are required to fast for the 3hr.

My doc said I didn't have to fast. My draw was at 3 pm, and they said I could eat lunch like normal just nothing but water for at least the hour and a half before the test.
