Test Necessity
The RBS test is prescribed by doctors for the diagnosis and management of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The test helps monitor the sugar level in the blood at different times of the day and thereby get a better understanding of whether the condition is under control and whether the treatment is working as required. This test is also advised for people who are more prone to diabetes, like those who have a family history of diabetes or suffer from obesity, etc. The RBS test is also advised to monitor cases of hypoglycemia where the blood sugar level is abnormally low and for people showing symptoms indicative of high blood sugar. Given the high prevalence of diabetes in existing times, the test is often advised as part of a regular health check.
Test Preparation
The RBS test does not require fasting or any other special preparation. However, it is advisable to confirm the time of day for the sample collection with your medical practitioner. You may also want to check with him/her regarding any dietary restrictions or schedule of ongoing medications that might influence the test.
During the RBS Test
A PharmEasy phlebotomist will arrive at your place at the scheduled date and time. He will have a sealed kit for the test, which he will open in your presence. This is a one-time use-and-dispose kit with the necessary equipment for the sample collection process. You need to sit in a relaxed position so that the rep may find a suitable vein for withdrawing blood. He will use a Vein Finder device to detect a vein and use a syringe to draw some blood. This blood sample will be stored in an airtight, labelled vial. Once done, the rep will clean the needle puncture with an antiseptic-soaked cotton swab and apply a bandage to it. The whole procedure will take no more than 10 minutes.

Test Result Interpretation
The Random Blood Sugar tests the level of glucose in your blood. This helps in determining if your body is producing enough insulin for the optimal functioning of all organs. A Random Blood Glucose value higher than normal and below 200mg/dl puts you at the risk of developing diabetes.
This would call for frequent tests as suggested by your doctor and specific changes in your daily lifestyle to prevent your glucose levels from rising any further.
