Tests for diabetes
Hi!
I have some queries regarding glucose blood test / test for diabetes. From what I understand - there are 2 tests - fasting glucose test & random glucose.
So, if my blood sample is taken for fasting glucose in the morning, can I go for random glucose test in the afternoon after my lunch or the next day?
Apart from these tests, is there any other test?
Thanks
