I checked random sugar. it is 111 mg. is it normal or slightly on higher side. i am fond of sweets. can sweets be cause of diabetes until const weight?

RBS: Random blood sugar (rbs) is not accurate test to screen for diabetes. Instead, check a fasting blood sugar (FBS) or hba1c to see if you may have pre-diabetes or diabetes. Good luck !
