• Diagnosis: The FBS test is done to diagnose diabetes in people who either have any risk factor or are showing symptoms of elevated blood sugar levels
• Monitoring: Diabetic patients must monitor their blood sugar levels on a frequent basis to check the effectiveness of their current diabetes treatment plan.

The doctor will prescribe the FBS test if there are any symptoms of prediabetes or diabetes like:

• Weight loss
• Fatigue
• Excessive thirst
• Frequent urination
• Blurred vision
• Slow healing wounds
• Mood swings

The FBS test has to be done by people who are at risk of developing diabetes. The risk factors are:

• People who have had gestational diabetes
• Obesity
• Random blood sugar level is high
• Smoking
• Sedentary lifestyle

The food we eat affects the blood sugar levels, hence it is necessary to fast for 10 to 12 hours before doing the FBS test. Make sure to not eat or drink anything apart from water before this test.
