Depends on what job you’re doing. Eg. If you’re applying for a PMET role, I don’t think so. If you’re applying to be a fighter pilot, yes.

I just go and did an mock up test for my pre employment check up.

Blood pressure 136/88
Pulse rate 95
Chest scan no issue
Blood glucose 8.4 but i forgot to fasting... I ate chicken rice half an hour before I did the test.

So for this kind of results ok for employment?

Non-fasting - how many hours after food? The examining doctor should indicate that it’s a job-fasting sample. Apart from the raised heart rate (because you’re likely a little anxious), the rest of the readings are ok.

A non fasting post-prandial sample of 8.4mmol/l does not indicate diabetes.

About 1.5 hours after food. But actually my health check letter doesn't stated that i must fasting.

I think mine should be fine but what i more worried is panic attack and cause my bp skyrocket.

There’s a simple way to get past that. Take home monitoring BP measurements and record them down over 1 week (buy one of those automatic BP machines) - and show your doctor.

What i did is I'm taking a video of myself doing bp measurement. Hope the doc accept it...
