How long does your dr make you fast before lab work? My dr said 12 hours and that is nearly impossible because my blood sugar gets low at night. A friend said his dr said 8 hours and he is a diabetic also. I can see 12 hours for non diabetics but not for people with diabetes.

Here are some facts about myself:
.5’7-233lbs, 23 year old Native American female

.Family history of Diabetes.
