Overview
Blood sugar levels are maintained by a hormone called insulin. There are several reasons like genetics or low productivity due to which insulin production can decrease. When there is a depletion of this hormone, the glucose level in your bloodstream starts increasing. This can cause health problems if not regulated properly. One of the leading lifestyle diseases is diabetes mellitus which is caused because of low insulin production.
The FBS test is one of the first diagnostic tests prescribed by physicians to check whether the patient has diabetes or is at risk. The normal range of fasting blood sugar lies between 90 mg/dL to 99 mg/dL. If the glucose level is recorded between 100 mg/dL to 125 mg/dL, it indicates prediabetes. On the other hand, if the level lies above 126 mg/dL, the patient might be suffering from diabetes mellitus.
A fasting period of 8 to 12 hours is required before the test can be taken. PharmEasy Labs has the best FBS test package containing one test for fasting blood sugar measurement.
Test Necessity
Insulin production can be affected due to several factors and it can, in turn, affect your glucose level. Consistent high blood sugar can cause problems in the kidney and heart. Therefore, it is always a good idea to monitor your sugar if you are at risk of such conditions.
If you are suffering from fluctuations in your blood sugar levels, an FBS test becomes a necessity. Your doctor may prescribe you to check if you are suffering from diabetes mellitus or prediabetic conditions. Other than an FBS test, you can also take a HbA1c test to check glucose levels in the past 2-3 months.
Test Preparation
As the name suggests, a fasting blood sugar test is done after a fasting period of 8 to 12 hours. It is advisable to take the test right after you wake up to get accurate results. You can have water during the fasting period to keep yourself hydrated.
During the FBS Test
FBS test is done on a patient's blood sample. An experienced phlebotomist visits your home for sample collection. The finest vein finders are used to locate your vein and with the help of a sterile syringe, the blood is collected. The testing is done in a very hygienic environment so that there is no contamination. It is also made sure that the reports are thoroughly checked for accuracy before they are sent to you.
