A quick info on FBS test

Overview

Fasting blood sugar, as the name suggests, is the blood sugar level that is taken after a person has fasted overnight. It is a very simple procedure as all that needs to be done here is the measurement of glucose in your blood. This test may be ordered by your doctor if it is suspected that your blood sugar level is abnormal. People suffering from diabetic conditions will find the FBS test extremely beneficial.

Sugar levels can increase due to various kinds of reasons. Eating large meals, having sugar foods and drinks, and intake of simple carbohydrates or carbs, such as bread and sweet snacks are some of the common causes. Insulin can break the blood sugar down nicely. However, people with diabetes have difficulties with insulin in one of two ways. While type 1 diabetes does not produce enough insulin, type 2 diabetes does not respond well to insulin in the body.

Test Necessity

It becomes necessary to do the FBS test when your blood sugar level fluctuates. No matter if you're having high blood sugar or low blood sugar, it's going to be a problem for you. The causes are going to differ in both cases. The following are the causes of high blood sugar:

Eat too many grams of carbohydrates
Having an infection
Forget your Insulin
Inactivity
Stress

Apart from this, the causes of low blood sugar are as follows:

Side effects of diabetes
Not having meals properly
Overdose of diabetes medications
Not having meals on time
Excess physical activity.
Drinking alcohol on meds

Each of these concerns may cause trouble in your blood sugar levels. It would become necessary to do the FBS test with the help of PharmEasy.
