It's the 1 hr one and my dr didn't say anything about fasting but yea doing it just in case so they don't have to do it again. Last time it made me dizzy waiting for that hr to pass

There are 3 different glucose tests. For the one hour one you don't fast for the two and three hour ones you have to. If your doctor told you to fast I would fast, because it could mess up the numbers if you don't.
