Is fasting required before this test?

Gating is not required when checking A1C, bc it is an average/percentage and true indicator of diabetes, over a three month period. A glucose test in routine labs, yes, you fast for. That's to see if your normal blood sugar is elevated and an A1C is warranted. Hope this helps.

I've misplaced the instructions that came with the box. Where can I read or see the instructions on how to use this kit?

Directions day that they invite you too call and they will guide you through the test. 1-877-870--5610. Hope this helps.

Do you have to draw a lot of blood for this to work?

No it’s a small amount of blood. Like if you were checking your blood sugar.

Where can I find the extra testing pouches for this product

There are two tests per kit, there are no refills, you buy a new kit after you use the two that come with it.
