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

Sir, I recently had a fasting glucose test, which showed 103 mg/dL, and an HbA1c test, which showed 12.52 percent. Is it possible for these results to be correct together, or is there a mismatch?

He recently had a health checkup. Please advise if any prescription is required. He has diabetes, high uric acid, and high blood pressure, and he is already taking medicines for these. Whenever he scratches his skin, it becomes black. Please tell us the reason for this.
