Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) Test In Howrah - Price & Details

Glucose is a type of sugar that is present in our blood and leads to our blood sugar levels that can be high, low, or normal. The blood sugar level of an individual who has fasted overnight is known as their fasting blood sugar level. Since conditions like diabetes might not display any symptoms in its early stages, it is important for those at risk to get an FBS test done as soon as possible.

If your doctor suspects you have any of these conditions or are generally at risk of these, you must book your FBS test at the earliest. With our home sample collection services, you can take the test in the comfort of your home and choose slots at your convenience. PharmEasy sends an expert and vaccinated phlebotomist to your home to draw blood for your test samples, which are then sent to our labs.

PharmEasy Labs in Howrah and across the country are certified and equipped with fully automated and calibrated machines. Moreover, these machines are operated by trained lab technicians with over 30 years of experience to ensure that customers have access to reliable and precise test results.

An FBS test is often assigned as a part of regular health screenings to monitor an individual’s blood sugar. It is also ordered for pregnant women to ensure that their hormones are not causing the onset of gestational diabetes. In case your family has a history of diabetes or you have conditions that put you at risk of diabetes, your healthcare provider might assign an FBS test to check for diabetes.

Since the FBS test measures an individual’s blood sugar levels after an overnight fast, you will be required to fast for at least 8-10 hours.

During the FBS Test

A vaccinated and expert phlebotomist will be assigned to visit your home to collect samples for your FBS test in the scheduled slot. They will use vein finders to precisely locate your veins and use sterilised and sealed needles to draw blood for your test samples. All safety and health precautions are followed to ensure a safe and seamless testing process.
