There are multiple factors that play a role in determining whether we have diabetes or not and one important thing to keep in mind is to know when to get the test done. Yes, a diabetes test can be done after a meal but according to doctors, it is recommended to be done 2 hours after consuming the meal as results can be compared with standard values. This is because the variation in the reports can vary depending on what you eat and how many hours before the test you eat, not giving a conclusive result.
