Sir
Yes you should always go for a test after taking your daily dose of medicine as usual,Secondly regarding your query both tests have their own importance like your fasting blood sugar and Post meal blood sugar helps doctor to know about your current blood sugar status and HbA1c report every 3 month will indicate your past 3 month status of your sugar levels and your drug compliance and your efforts to keep the disease in check.
Thank you and Regards.

You can give fasting sample and HbA1c together.
Post prandial sugars later.
