Excessive levels of glucose in the bloodstream causes serious health issues like diabetes. The pancreas secretes insulin, a hormone that keeps the glucose levels in check. The insulin is responsible for sending the excess blood sugar to the liver, where it is stored as glycogen. Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not utilize the insulin effectively or does not produce insulin.

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.

- Discomfort or swelling at the site where the needle was inserted.
