Pre-breakfast blood sugar
Fasting glucose is the concentration of sugar in the blood after a period without eating, typically eight to twelve hours.
It's a standard medical measurement for screening diabetes and monitoring blood sugar control: Her fasting glucose was elevated, so the doctor ordered further tests.
