Question

Laboratory studies indicate a client's blood glucose level is 185 mg/dl. Two hours have passed since the client ate breakfast. Which test would yield the most conclusive diagnostic information about the client's glucose use?

Answer 1

Answer:

Random blood glucose test must have shown this level.

Fasting blood glucose needs to be checked with A1C

Explanation:

Normal values fpr prediabeteics for different tests are

                                          Normal              prediabetic          diabetic

1. A1C (%)                              < 5.7                  5.7 to 6.4              > 6.6

2. fasting plasma glucose   < 100                 100 to 125             >125

     FPG (mg/dl)                                  

3. OGTT  (mg/dl)                  <140                  140 to 199             > 200

(2 hr blood sugar)        

OGTT = oral glucose tolerance test

A1C = glycated haemoglobin

Further explanation

fasting plasma glucose is recommended as it helps in diagnosing A1C measures average blood sugar for 2 to 3 months as it is tells about how well body has control of blood sugar
