  them within a healthy range.

Diabetes and Blood Tests

• If you have diabetes, it is important to monitor
  your blood sugar levels regularly.
• The ADA recommends that people with diabetes get
  a fasting plasma glucose (FPG) test at least once
  a year. An FPG test measures your blood sugar
  after you have fasted for at least 8 hours.
• A hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test should also be done
  every 6 months to track your long-term blood
  sugar control. People with diabetes should aim
  for an HbA1c level below 7.
