You may have to fast eight hours beforehand to get accurate test results, so it\u2019s always a good idea to check before your appointment. Your healthcare team can create a diabetes treatment plan if you\u2019re prediabetic or if you have diabetes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be sure your treatment plan includes instructions on when you would need to seek emergency medical care.
