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, 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 in order 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.

The RBS test can be prescribed by your doctor as part of your preventive health care plan to prevent or for timely detection of the onset of diabetes.

Your doctor will ask for regular RBS reports during the blood sugar management phase to see if medication is yielding the desired results and if a change in dosage is needed.

Risk factors that make doctors recommend RBS include-

• High blood pressure
• Being overweight or obese
• Family history of diabetes
• Diagnosis of gestational diabetes in the past

Doctors also recommend RBS tests to pregnant women to prevent or treat gestational diabetes.

Some symptoms that may necessitate an RBS test are-

• Frequent hunger pangs and thirst
• A constant need to urinate

If you are taking any medicine or health supplements, let your doctor know in case an ingredient affects blood sugar levels.
