How to read the blood glucose test

The first thing to look at is the time of monitoring blood glucose, whether it is fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, or random blood glucose; secondly, the reference value of blood glucose; and again, whether the measured blood glucose value is within the reference value, whether it is high or low. The normal value of fasting blood glucose is 3.9-6.1mmol/L, and the normal value of blood glucose two hours after meal should be less than 7.8mmol/L. If the normal value of fasting blood glucose is less than 2.8mmol/L, it is called hypoglycemia. Fasting blood sugar greater than or equal to 7.0mmol/L is the diagnostic criterion for diabetes. Two-hour postprandial blood glucose greater than or equal to 11.1mmol/L is also a diagnostic criterion for diabetes mellitus.
