My RBS in the blood report is 182. Do I have diabetes? Can you explain this and tell me if it can be reduced?

A random blood sugar of 182 is high and may indicate diabetes or prediabetes. You need to get a fasting blood sugar and HbA1c test to confirm. Avoid sweets and refined carbs until then. Please consult a doctor.

Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...

Take a FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar )Test Test or Take a HbA1c Test (Hemoglobin A1c) Test

Is there any other tool to detect diabetes other then blood test?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

There were two HbA1c tests done one week apart. The first result was 5.6, and the second result was 5.7. If I am prediabetic, please suggest what to do next. Can it be reduced below 5.7 without prediabetic medications?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Today, I received my blood test report, and my fasting blood sugar level is 107. This is the first time my sugar level has been high; two months ago, it was only 80. I am 30 years old and have been using some hormone medications for infertility over the past two months. What tests should I get done now, and does this mean I am diabetic?
