I did hba1c sunce about 5 minths & it was good .
And i did postprandial blood sugar test (2 hours after lunch) & itwas 87 .
But why you ask me to do those tests while you ate telling me that my readings are fine in fasting & after meals .
Pls note that the dr of my company (insurance) told me before when i asked him to do hb1AC test that it is not for diagnosing diabetes but it is to see ho well the diabets controlled for the diabetics .
