Hi, I am about to take a blood glucose test. When is the best time of the day to do it? Are blood sugar readings the same during day?

Hi, actually you need to fasten during night for example to perform a fasting blood sugar test. If your blood glucose level is less than 110 mg/dl, it is in normal ranges. A diabetes is established if your blood glucose reading is 126 mg/dl or higher. However, there is also another kind of test called a "random" blood glucose test taken at any time. A normal blood glucose range is considered to be from low to mid 100s. If your blood glucose reading is 200 mg/dl or higher, there is a great chance that you are diabetic. Symptoms accompanying the disease are fatigue, excessive urination, excessive thirst or unplanned weight loss.
