dear madam I can understand your concern
there is a blood test called glycosylated Haemoglobin which will give an average blood glucose for past 3 months and will not show much fluctuations like blood sugar.
the patients having PCOD are having more chance of getting diabetes than people with out PCOD
maintaing BMI below 24.5 is very important
do daily exersise
