About sugar test
Why is a sugar test done?
Sugar test is done if you are experiencing the following symptoms:

How to prepare for the sugar test?
Before your sugar test, do inform your doctor about the medicines that you are intaking and the history of the ailments you’ve been diagnosed with. The preparation depends on the type of sugar test you are undergoing. No preparations are required for the random blood sugar test. However, before the fasting blood sugar test, you will be required to fast for at least 8 hours.

THINGS TO KNOW AFTER GETTING TESTED
Interpreting the sugar test results
The results of a sugar test depend on the food that we consume during the day. Similarly, exercising can also impact the results by lowering our blood glucose levels. Blood glucose levels in those diagnosed with diabetes and prediabetes keep changing as the day advances.
Reference range:
Random blood sugar test: 70-150 mg/dl
Fasting blood sugar test: 70- 100 mg/dl
You might have diabetes if your sugar test results fall within a higher than normal range. Diabetic people whose blood sugar results are abnormal are not able to control and manage their condition properly.
- Hypoglycemia means your blood sugar levels are lower than normal and can be caused by hypopituitarism, liver or kidney disease, underactive adrenal gland or thyroid gland, doing extreme physical activities, weight loss after undergoing surgery, a pancreas tumor, having less food, taking excessive insulin or diabetic drugs, etc.
- A high blood sugar level can also be a result of severe medical conditions, including pancreatic cancer, overactive thyroid gland, pancreatitis, stress, trauma, stroke, heart attack, surgery, acromegaly, glucagonoma, pheochromocytoma, Cushing’s syndrome, etc.
After analyzing your sugar test results, your doctor may ask you to go for other tests, including a random blood glucose test, fasting blood glucose test, postprandial blood sugar test, OGTT, HBA1C, etc.
