What is Blood Sugar (Glucose) Monitoring?
The amount of glucose (sugar) in your blood changes throughout the day and night. Your levels will vary depending upon when, what and how much you have eaten, and whether or not you have exercised. A fasting test is done after having no food or liquid for 8 hours. A random test is done anytime.
