Hyperglycemia – often called “high blood sugar” – comes with several notable symptoms including³:
Blurred vision
Fatigue
Fluctuating weight
Increased thirst
Frequent urination
Like with any at-home test, you can share the results with your healthcare provider. They will help determine what course of action is best, and if lifestyle changes are necessary.
Testing every 3 to 6 months is recommended for anyone concerned about prediabetes. This diabetes test kit is sensitive enough against daily blood sugar fluctuations that any time of day is fine to test, and you don’t need to test on an empty stomach.
Again, as with any at-home test, you should consult your healthcare provider after getting your results. This will help facilitate the development of a health action plan moving forward.
