You have high sugar in your blood? IT means your body is not breaking down the sugar well. Drink Apple cider vingar daily, one table spoonful per 500ml of water, add in one squeeze lemon juice ( squeeze urself using organic lemons if you can). Drink this before bed.

5.8 is not yet diabetes. 6 onward they say is pre diabetes. 7 onward on 2 occasion is confirm diabetes
so i set 5.8 as an alarm

I cannot poop after I tried fasting and resume eating.
What I observed recently.
Before eat anything in morning, glucometer showed 5.4
Immediately after meal it showed 8 to 9.0
2 hours after meal it showed 7.2

Problem faced is constipation seem to set in after I reduced food intake to 1 to 1.5 meals per day.
Need evacuation by taking senna or using suppository

Is this expected? Doesn't sounds right

Or does it mean when we reduce food intake, same time we will not be able to poop daily regularly compared to the time when we eat regular meals as the poop will take more time to form?

Yes, constipation is a common side effect of fasting.

The best way to treat constipation is to take magnesium pills daily. Experiment for yourself the best dosage and timing to take the pills for yourself.

In the past the standard Normal was 5.6 and below, Pre diabetes was 5.6-6.5, and anything above 6.5 is diabetes.

You see those diabetes who are in "remission" are classified as having a Hba1c of 6.5 % and below without any medication for two consecutive period.

Test strips are cheap cost about SGD 0.15 cents per strip. Those made in China brand are just as accurate, can do a an accuracy test by testing it the same time you go for your lab test and compare the results.
You mean buy a China made glucometer and test strip or a good brand glucometer and China test strip?
I thought test strip is proprietary to the glucometer?

Doc told me lab test result is an average of the past 3 mths whereas home kit test result is the point of time result.

You can try to buy Sinocare GA-3 Glucose meter set which comes with the meter, needle and test strips .

After that you just need to buy new strips but it has to be GA-3 otherwise it may not be compatible.

For comparison against Lab test results you need to ask the doctor for Fasting Blood Glucose test.

For Diabetes they usually do two test Fasting Blood Glucose and a Hba1c test ( which is an average of your 3 months blood glucose).
