How can a blood test tell if your sugar is always normally high or just acutely?

494 views

One time I accidentally ate a snack before a blood test. They called me and asked if I ate and I remembered I did. They said my sugar was spiked, but can tell through that it’s not normally like that because of some three month marker. I may be repeating that completely wrong, but how is it possible to see that your sugar isn’t normally high and just acutely through blood? I only get annual physicals, so it’s not like I had a blood test 3 months prior.

Most likely, your blood test included another test for A1C, which measures the average sugar in your blood for the past 90 days. That’s how they knew the glucose level was spiked at the time the blood was drawn.
