I am managing my diabetes based on the sugar reading test done at home with home test kit. I would like to know which test reading is the most important to decide whether diabetes is in control? Is it the fasting/post postprandial reading. How often should the test be repeated to make sure my diabetes is under control The reading currently is 100mg/dl and 145mg/dl for fasting and postprandial.
