Every parameter of blood sugar has its own importance.Fasting blood sugar indicates your calory intake in dinner and its utilization.PP blood sugar suggests your sugar status after 2 hrs of meals.Random blood sugar gives you information about sugar level at that particular time and HbA1c gives you idea about your average blood sugar in last 3 months.
