Wakeup Blood Glucose Test

I assume that a "Wakeup Blood Glucose Test" is what's often referred to as a fasting blood sugar (glucose) test, before which one is not to eat or drink anything other than water for at least 8 hours. So it's convenient for most people to do in the morning upon rising and BEFORE eating. However, I've never been told to sit for any length of time before testing glucose levels as is recommended for testing blood pressure levels. Hope this helps.

To @canada @ronaldtseng,
Regarding your #3, one's glucose will test higher after one has recently eaten than when testing after an 8-hour or more fast.

Yes, it is called- fasting blood sugar. The morning blood level is not settle down then to have "high" blood glucose level. As said: body highest blood sugar level is between 4am - 8 am everyday.
This is another reason why to have high blood sugar level due to too early doing the test in the morning?
Do you have this experience?
When you do the test at Dr's office - always to be asked to sit down 5-10 minutes before the test.
Please help again.
