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

Random blood glucose test must have shown this level.

Fasting blood glucose needs to be checked with A1C

Step-by-step 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
