Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) Test in Bhiwandi - Price & Details

The body breaks down carbohydrates into sugar, which is the primary source of energy for the body and helps the organs perform their essential functions. Higher than normal blood sugar levels can cause severe health issues like kidney damage, heart damage, and damage to the nerves. The pancreas is responsible for producing insulin, a hormone that helps to manage the excess glucose. If the body is unable to produce or utilise the insulin properly, the blood sugar levels remain high, causing diabetes.

If you have any symptoms of prediabetes or diabetes, you will have to do the FBS test. These symptoms include:

• Weight loss
• Exhaustion
• Excessive thirst
• Frequent urination
• Slow healing wounds
• Blurred vision
• Fluctuations in the mood

If you have any risk factors that can cause you to develop diabetes, you will have to do the FBS test. The risk factors are:

• Hereditary diabetes
• Gestational diabetes
• Obesity
• More than 40 years of age
• Smoking
• Long-term steroid use
• Consumption of excessive alcohol
• High random blood sugar levels

You have to fast for 12 hours before the FBS test. The reason is that the consumption of food and beverages apart from water before the test can cause a spike in the blood sugar levels, yielding incorrect test results.

During the FBS Test

At the time of booking of the FBS test, opt for the home sample collection service. A phlebotomist will be assigned to collect the sample from your house, following all safety protocols. The vein finder device detects the best vein to use in the forearm, making the process painless for the patient. The sterilised gloves and needles used for the process are disposed of after use, maintaining hygiene. The test will be over within 10 minutes.
