Dear lybrate-user taking a fasting blood sugar is like studying overnight for an exam and going for a test next day. While as glycosylated hb is like studying throughout year and giving exam. Which is more reliable according to you? Hba1c is most reliable. You can stop sugar, work on your diet and lifestyle.
