My random blood sugar is high. What other blood glucose monitoring tests do I have to do?

Besides a random blood glucose test, there are many other types of blood glucose monitoring tests used by doctors to diagnose prediabetes and diabetes. These include: Fasting blood glucose test, Post-prandial (or post-meal) blood glucose test, HbA1c test, Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and Random blood glucose test.

How does random glucose testing correlate with diabetes management parameters?

Random blood glucose testing values vary based on your last meal. If you are testing one to two hours after a meal, ADA recommends that your random glucose levels (for normally healthy individuals without diabetes) be under 180 mg/dL. If you are testing before a meal, your blood glucose levels must be between 80 and 130 mg/dL.

Can I ignore high random blood sugar levels?

No, you should not ignore a high random blood sugar level reading. Instead, you must confirm if you have prediabetes or diabetes by doing additional tests like fasting blood glucose, oral glucose tolerance (OGTT), or continuous glucose monitoring.
