My reading for a non fasting glucose test is 145. The normal range is 70 to 140. Is this okay, or do I need to change my lifestyle and diet for a healthy, diabetes free life?

A non fasting glucose of 145 is slightly elevated. It does not confirm diabetes but could signal risk. Do a fasting blood sugar and HbA1c to know your average sugar control. Focus on diet, exercise, and avoid sugar rich foods.

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