Carbohydrates in food are converted into glucose which is the main source of energy.

Glucose travels with the blood to every part of the body. Cells and tissues use insulin to absorb glucose from the blood for fuel and energy, the liver stores some for future use, and the rest remains in the blood. After a meal, blood sugar begins to rise and reaches a peak within about an hour, and as cells and tissues use up glucose, it decreases.

How much and how fast the blood sugar rises depends on-

• Quantity  of food

• Consuming excess sugary foods and drinks

•  Eating simple carbohydrates

Neither high nor low blood glucose is good for health and it depends on the rate of insulin production and how well the body is responding to insulin.

Those who have diabetes, have difficulty with insulin processing. People with type 1 diabetes do not produce enough insulin as their immune system attacks their insulin producing cells. Whereas people with type 2 diabetes do not respond to insulin properly, subsequently the pancreas does not generate enough insulin.

Both prediabetes and gestational diabetes have the potential to develop into type 2 diabetes. Diabetes makes it difficult for the body to use glucose.

Fasting blood sugar measures how well the body is managing glucose, as it is taken between two meals. A high level of FBS means the body is unable to lower it. The reason may be insulin resistance, inadequate insulin production or in some cases both of them.

Eating the right amount of well balanced food and being physically active lead to good health.

Doctors often recommend an FBS test as a routine health check up. This test helps diagnose type 2 and type 1 diabetes. Fasting blood sugar helps in monitoring sugar levels during diabetes treatment. Your doctor may ask for an FBS test if you are showing the symptoms of diabetes mellitus (type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes) such as:

• Increased thirst and hunger
• Frequent urges for urination
• Unexplained weight loss
• Tiredness
• Dry skin
• Blurred vision
• Pins and needles feeling at the extremities
• Wounds do not heal easily
• Recurrent infections

Fasting blood sugar test provides the status of how the body is maintaining the sugar levels in the blood.

You need to fast for 8 to 12 hours before a fasting blood sugar test. You must not eat or drink anything except water before this test.
