Blood glucose levels are typically measured using the following tests:

  • Fasting Blood Glucose Test: Measures blood sugar after an overnight fast.
  • Random Blood Glucose Test: Measures blood sugar at any time, regardless of when you last ate.
  • Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT): Measures blood sugar before and after consuming a sugary drink.
  • Hemoglobin A1C Test: Provides an average blood sugar level over the past 2-3 months.

These tests are commonly used to diagnose and monitor diabetes and prediabetes.
