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.

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