A1C cannot be lowered overnight
The best time would be in the morning or evening.
Fasting blood sugar (in the morning, before eating) should be Less than 100 mg/dL. 1-2 hours after a meal should be Less than 140 mg/dL. And 2-3 hours after eating should be Less than 100 mg/dL
Both are accurate. A1C gives the control for 3 months whereas fasting glucose will give the results for that particular day.
No, they are not the same.
