Overview
In individuals without diabetes, blood sugar levels naturally decrease when there is no intake of glucose through food. Conversely, in people with diabetes, the body has difficulties regulating glucose, resulting in elevated blood sugar levels even without eating. Hence, the FBS test is conducted after fasting to assess and monitor glucose levels.
Individuals are recommended to undergo the FBS test annually as part of glucose monitoring. Additionally, it is conducted during pregnancy to rule out diabetes resulting from hormonal changes. Moreover, the test is suggested for individuals exhibiting symptoms, having a family history or risk factors for diabetes.
If you're at a high risk of diabetes, it's recommended to take the fasting blood sugar test, particularly if you're above 40, have a family history of diabetes and if you have PCOS. Also, being overweight/obese, having tested high blood sugar after meals, or having a sedentary lifestyle are significant risk factors warranting the test.

Test Necessity

The FBS test plays a key role in diagnosing and monitoring diabetes or pre-diabetes in adults.
