Dear Lybrateuser, - To know the cholesterol & blood sugar level you have to do investigation at a laboratory - blood sample will be taken after 9-12 hrs after dinner the next morning, that is the fasting blood sample - the second sample for blood sugar will be taken after two hours of having your breakfast.

If you have type 2 diabetes and your blood sugar levels are racing up and down like a roller coaster, it's time to get off the ride. Big swings in your blood sugar can make you feel lousy. But even if you aren't aware of them, they can still increase your risk for a number of serious health problems. By making simple but specific adjustments to your lifestyle and diet, you can gain better blood-sugar control. Your body uses the sugar, also known as glucose, in the foods you eat for energy. Think of it as a fuel that keeps your body moving throughout the day.

Diabetes is a disease occurring due to either lack of insulin or resistance to its action. In case of t1 diabetes there is a total absence of insulin (no beta cells). In addition over weight and inactivity also contribute. Diabetes is diagnosed by checking blood sugar levels. Fasting >126 mg and pp >200 mg per 100 ml of blood. Precautions to be taken are exercising daily more than 1 h, maintaining near normal weight and taking a balanced diet.
