Overview
Glucose is one of the prime molecules which provides our cells with the energy to properly function. However, there should be an optimal level of glucose maintained in the blood to avoid any adverse effects. Insulin is an enzyme which is known to regulate the level of glucose in our body.
Due to several reasons like genetic conditions or low productivity, insulin fails to regulate the glucose level causing a very common lifestyle disease called diabetes mellitus. Patients who suffer from diabetes are often asked to check their blood sugar levels to determine whether the glucose in the blood is in control. The FBS test is one of the primary tests prescribed by a healthcare provider to check the glucose level in your blood. Before the test, a fasting period of 8-12 hours is usually preferred for accurate results.
PharmEasy Labs offers a convenient FBS test in Agra wherein an experienced phlebotomist will come to your home for sample collection. The test package contains one fasting blood glucose test.
Test Necessity
Diabetes mellitus is a disease that can drastically affect your health if it is not treated. It is a lifestyle disease that can affect your day-to-day activities. It can also put you at risk of getting heart and kidney diseases or lower limb amputation if left untreated for a long time. Therefore, detection and timely regulation of higher blood sugar levels is necessary to avoid such complications.
The FBS test is one of the most effective tests that can determine the glucose level in your blood after a fasting period of 8 to 12 hours. If your fasting sugar level is higher than the normal range, your healthcare provider can prescribe you suitable medicines to regulate glycemia. That is why it is a necessary test for all diabetes mellitus or prediabetic patients.
Test Preparation
For an accurate FBS test, 8-12 hours of fasting is required. The normal level of blood sugar after 12 hours of fasting should range from 70 mg/dL to 100 mg/dL. Therefore, fasting before the FBS test helps in determining the glycemic condition of the patient.
