Recommended fasting levels are 80-120, ideally should stay around 100. There can be upto 20 point difference in measured glucose between 2 different types of glucose monitors and well as glucose checked in the lab. Values checked in the lab are most accurate
Next Steps
Before making medication adjustment, recommend fasting and PP sugar in lab with Hba1c. Consult online with lab reports
