In general, it is recommended that you fast (nothing to eat or drink except water) for at least 8 hours before having a blood glucose test. For people with diabetes, glucose levels are often checked both while fasting and after meals to provide the best control of diabetes.

Diabetes is diagnosed by any one of the following: 1  Two consecutive fasting blood glucose tests that are equal to or greater than 126 mg/dL. 2  Any random blood glucose that is greater than 200 mg/dL. 3  An A1c test that is equal to or greater than 6.5 percent. 4  A two-hour oral glucose tolerance test with any value over 200 mg/dL.

The amount of glucose (“sugar”, measured in mg/dL) in your blood changes throughout the day and night. Your levels will change depending upon when, what and how much you have eaten, and whether or not you have exercised.

1 This type of medication helps your body use insulin more effectively and may also reduce the amount of blood sugar made by the liver. 2  Sulfonylurea. 3  Drugs in this class cause certain cells in your pancreas to make more insulin. 4  However, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) is a possible side effect.

Insulin, which is made by the pancreas, is the hormone that enables the cells in your body to take advantage of sugar. Type 2 diabetes occurs when your body isn’t able to remove sugar from your blood for use elsewhere.
