The FBS test will be prescribed by the doctor to screen, diagnose, and monitor prediabetes and diabetes.

• Screening: People who are over the age of 30 should get an annual diabetes checkup done. The FBS test is a reliable method of detecting and preventing serious health issues that can be caused due to untreated diabetes.
• Diagnosis: The FBS test is essential to diagnose diabetes and should be regularly done by people who are either prone to diabetes or show symptoms of abnormal blood sugar levels.
• Monitoring: The FBS test is an important tool for people who are diabetic as it helps to monitor the treatment plan and make any changes if necessary.

The FBS test is an important test for people who are at risk of developing diabetes. Some of the risk factors include:

• Over 40 years of age
• Gestational diabetes
• Hereditary diabetes
• Obesity
• Smoking
• Sedentary lifestyle
• PCOS and other menstrual irregularities
• Long-term usage of steroids
• Consumption of excessive alcohol

The test is also done if there are any symptoms of diabetes. The symptoms include:

• Blurred vision
• Slow healing wounds
• Tiredness
• Frequent urination
• Excessive thirst
• Hunger pangs
• Mood swings

It is important to fast for 10 to 12 hours before getting the FBS test. The reason is that eating food and drinking sugary drinks can affect the blood sugar levels. You should not consume anything but water before the test.

During the FBS Test

After booking the FBS test, a phlebotomist will be assigned to you who will arrive at the specified location at the specified time. To maintain hygiene and safety protocols, the phlebotomists use sterilised, disposable needles and gloves. They also use a vein finder device that helps them locate the most suitable vein to draw blood from, to minimise discomfort.
