- 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.

Test Preparation
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.
