Both are accurate. A1C gives the control for 3 months whereas fasting glucose will give the results for that particular day.
No, A1C blood test can be given even without fasting.
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
It means that your body is storing glucose in the blood stream and you are probably asymtomatic.However, since you fall under prediabetes you are advised to take your medicines on time and perform regular exercises to keep your blood glucose levels under control.
Eating before A1C test wont affect the results.
