Best Answer

first of all, a good understanding of how the biochemistry of the body operates is required. However looking at the reference range is a good start, to see what is 'normal.' I use normal in inverted commas as a normal healthy person can have a result outside the reference range and a diseased patient can have a result within the reference range.

How does a doctor do a blood sugar test?

A doctor will test your blood glucose (sugar) level by either extracting blood through a needle, or pricking your finger and placing blood on a test strip.

To achieve the best results, or the most accurate reading, it is recommended that you fast for 24 hours before a test is to be taken.
