Yes, it gives an average of the past three months.
A very reliable test.

Many things affect a single glucose reading. So a
single fasting glucose test is NOT reliable as proof
of diabetes, but with diabetes running in your family,
I would definitely consider it as a sign of pre-diabetes
which can be controlled by diet and exercise.
