What can cause a fasting blood sugar of only 63, if nothing has been found to be wrong w/you medically?

This is after 12 hours of fasting. I am 35 years old and slightly overweight (need to lose 20 pounds and working on it). There is no history of diabetes on either side of my family. I take Dilantin 100 mg twice daily; Synthroid 0.25 mg daily; and Nexium 40 mg daily. One thing, though: me and my dad’s side of the family love to eat candy such as Red Hots and Bit-O-Honey. I am on Weight Watchers, but I work such candy in every single day. Maybe my pancreas produces too much insulin in response to eating sweets? Every other medical problem has been ruled out. Also, recently, I had a random blood sugar done right after I ate pancakes with syrup and orange juice, and my blood sugar was only in the lower 90s.

if random blood sugar test is normal is there still a n?eed for fasting blood sugar test?

Is it okay to fast more than 12 hours for a fasting blood test?

I took a fasting test on Tuesday and it was a 12 hour fasting test. I stopped eating at six on Monday night and took the blood test around 11 on Tuesday. Since I fasted for more than 12 hours, would the results be skewed (such as appearing normal because I haven’t ate for a long time)?

How can the fasting blood sugar be 106 and the blood sugar an hour after a meal be 85?

On two occasions that my blood was tested, the fasting blood sugar was above normal (106), but the blood sugar an hour after a meal was within limits (85).

Isn’t this an anomaly?
On both the occasions, my blood was tested in a lab. I did not use a Glucometer
