Random blood sugar tests are a helpful tool in determining whether a person has diabetes mellitus. It can help to diagnose type 1 and type 2 diabetes as well as gestational diabetes.
Diabetes can trigger many health complications. That is why, if you are symptomatic of diabetes, have a family history of the disorder, are overweight or if you are pregnant, or had gestational diabetes in the past, you will need to undergo an RBS test to monitor your regular blood sugar levels so that any significant rise in blood sugar can immediately be addressed with lifestyle modifications and medication.
RBS is not used to detect pre-diabetes. If RBS is done soon after a meal, it will detect higher-than-normal levels of glucose because there is a sugar spike in your blood after every meal. This may or may not indicate pre-diabetes. Diabetes is characterized by sugar levels much higher than normal, and RBS can help to report that.

Test Result Interpretation
The Random Blood Sugar tests the level of glucose in your blood. This helps in determining if your body is producing enough insulin for the optimal functioning of all organs. A Random Blood Glucose value higher than normal and below 200mg/dl puts you at the risk of developing diabetes.
This would call for frequent tests as suggested by your doctor and specific changes in your daily lifestyle to prevent your glucose levels from rising any further.
