You should ask for an A1c [hemoglobin A1c] test which measures your glucose over the past 3 months. Red blood cells live an average of 3 months. Normally excess glucose binds to new red blood cells and the A1c captures this. Your results are presented in % [percentile]. To find out your daily average glucose use this formula.
28.7 X A1c – 46.7 = your daily average glucose
Normal is 60/70 to 99 mg/dl
Prediabetes is 100 to 125 mg/dl
Diabetes is 126 mg/dl and above
i do get checked every year in fact i was just check 2 months ago thats why i was asking the question to see if i should go back to the doctor to check my blood sugar
In 2009, 1,812,000 [million] new cases of diabetes was reported, up 100,000 [approx] from the previous year. One should have their glucose [blood sugar] checked as part of the yearly physical health checkup.
i have never been diagnosed with diabetes i just took it cause my friend was checking her blood sugar. would you recommend going to have mine checked by a doctor
No it is not. An 134 mg/dl test result fours after eating is considered diabetes. Postprandial [2-3 hours after meal] should be <141 mg/dl, optimum <121 mg/dl.
Having desert implies eating something sugary. Sorry, but it sounds like you're playing Russian roulette with your diabetes?
Little hard to say based on one reading. What is your fasting blood sugar and a1c?
