Does having food on your finger affect your blood glucose?
Yes it will affect the reading you get (not your actual blood glucose). If you have food (especially sugary food) on your finger where you take the drop of blood from, then the sugar from the food will mix with the blood and give a false reading. This is why it is important to wash the finger before testing blood glucose.
Why are patients fasted before Oral Glucose Tolerance Test?
To make the results all the same for different people. If you have eaten food prior to the test, the results will be different - actually fasting before the test might avoid any false result. because when we are fasting the glucose supply will be cut and so, this will not interfere with the glucose loaded during the experiment. because what we want to observe is how the body will react with that particular amount of glucose intake in the given time.

What diagnostic tests are used to confirm diabetes?
There are several blood tests that can diagnose diabetes. The most common is a fasting blood glucose test, where the glucose level is measured after at least eight hours of fasting. The blood glucose can be measured without fasting, but it can only diagnose diabetes, not prediabetes. The oral glucose tolerance test monitors how a body responds to an influx of glucose. After fasting for a least 8 hours, blood glucose levels are measured before and every 30-60 minutes after the ingestion of a glucose beverage for three hours. A urine test for high levels of glucose and ketones can help diagnose diabetes, but these results are not enough on their own.
