Random glucose test ({aka} random blood glucose) is a [blood sugar] test taken from a non-[fasting] subject.
This test, also called capillary blood glucose (CBG), assumes a recent [meal] and therefore has higher reference values than the fasting glucose test.

Reference values
The reference values for a "normal" random glucose test in an average adult are 79-160 mg/dl (4.4-7.8 mmol/l), between 160-200 mg/dl is considered pre-diabetes, and > 200 mg/dl is considered diabetes according to ADA guidelines (you should visit your doctor or a clinic for additional tests however as a random glucose of > 200 mg/dl does not necessarily mean you are diabetic).
