Many people go to the lab in the morning on an empty stomach to check their blood (Fasting Blood Sugar) to confirm whether they have diabetes or not. However, this result can vary due to changes in the food eaten the day before or due to mental stress at that time. Therefore, here are some important medical tricks to understand the exact level of diabetes in the body:<\/p>\n
HbA1c test (3-month average): This is the best trick to know the real state of blood sugar. For this, it is not necessary to starve for a single day. This test will accurately tell you your average sugar level for the last 3 months by looking at how much glucose is attached to the hemoglobin in our red blood cells.<\/p>\n

Two-hour postprandial blood sugar test (PPBS): This is a test that is done exactly 2 hours after eating in the morning (Post Prandial Blood Sugar). This test is very important to understand how much insulin the body is able to produce to control the food we eat.<\/p>\n
Identify the honeymoon period \/ dawn phenomenon: Some people experience a sudden spike in blood sugar levels between 3 and 4 am due to hormonal changes (Dawn Phenomenon). To identify this, using a glucometer at home and checking your blood sugar levels at different times (before going to bed and in the morning) will help you understand the correct situation.<\/p>\n
Pre- and post-meal glucometer readings: If you have a glucometer at home, take readings just before and two hours after eating a meal and compare them. The difference between these two readings should not be more than 40-50 mg\/dL. This way, you can easily find out which food increases sugar in your body.<\/p>\n
