Hello, Thanks for the query. Fasting blood glucose has to be taken after a gap of 10 to 12 hours after food. This is usually possible following dinner at night. That is the reason, it is done in the morning. If one does remain without food following a breakfast or lunch, then that too can be cosidered in the same manner. But usually such a long gap is not there during the day. Thanks.
