It happens that a blood test for diabetes miss it?

It depends>>>: Blood tests do have some error rates, so at times we have to repeat them to confirm the results. But sugar is a simple test and there is little room for mistakes. But the blood sugar does fluctuate depending on eating and from day to day. So it is a good idea to have 2 or 3 readings to be more certain about the real picture.
