glucose
No, but it should be trough level (several hours after last dose).
No. It is not a fasting test.
That might depend on what the blood test is for. If you are doing fasting labwork for cholesterol or diabetes, it can effect the results. Even though the non dairy creamer is cholesterol free, it does contain sugars. These sugars can increase the fasting sugar level as well as the triglyceride portion of the cholesterol. It is recommended that if you are asked to be fasting for a lab, that you only drink water or black coffee prior to the lab.
No. Fasting is only required for lab tests which examine lipids, sugars (blood glucose, glycohemoglobin, etc.) and amino acids.
I have without any problems, but you should call the lab that is testing you they should have someone to answer questions 24 hours a day depending on the lab size.

at least 8 hours of fasting for a blood test
Certain blood test lab near me, require fasting before the test to ensure accurate results. For example, lipid profile, fasting blood sugar, and fasting lipid profile tests typically require 8 to 12 hours of fasting. During this fasting period, you should refrain from consuming any food or beverages, except water. However, not all blood tests require fasting, so it's essential to follow the specific instructions provided by the laboratory or healthcare professional.

For 8 hours prior to test it is preferable to abstain from eating or drinking, except water. Additionally, the doctor may ask you to restrain from some drugs which affect the levels, like ascorbic acid (Vit C), and some diuretics
