Yes, they both can be compared.
A1C cannot be lowered overnight
Fasting blood sugar (in the morning, before eating) should be Less than 100 mg/dL. 1-2 hours after a meal should be Less than 140 mg/dL. And 2-3 hours after eating should be Less than 100 mg/dL
Eating before A1C test wont affect the results.
The difference is A1C is the mean average for 3 months of control of blood sugar levels. Whereas fasting blood sugar levels are of the same day.
