“If I didn’t eat 2 hours before my PP sugar test, will the result be inaccurate?”
I underwent a post-lunch sugar test, but my food was a bit delayed and there wasn’t an exact 2 hour gap. Could there be an issue because of this?

Depend on how long after eating you had the test. The blood sugar should go to normal after 2 hours. I don’t think that is going to make a big different. Your doctor will tell you if there is a need to repeat the test. Thank you.
How much time are we talking about? If it is just a few minutes, probably not. If it is more than an hour, it may cause some problems. You need to check with your laboratory concerning the exact parameters.
