I am not an expert
But having managed the oldies for however long, i can't imagine asking 80+ to go on either the fasting plan or a keto plan.
Of course a lot depends on the details of the diagnosis but if it's just a blood glucose test, I'd look at it carefully. The difference in how things are treated and diagnosed in the elderly can be vastly different, then there's the issue of have you got a GP getting their boxers in a bunch over nothing etc.
I myself have been a regular in the medical system for more than twenty years...patterns are interesting....or v boring depending on your experience
