Excessive levels of glucose in the bloodstream cause serious health issues like diabetes. The pancreas secretes insulin, a hormone that keeps the glucose levels in check. The insulin is responsible for sending the excess blood sugar to the liver, where it is stored as glycogen. Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not utilise insulin effectively or does not produce insulin.

The RBS test will be prescribed by the doctor if there are any symptoms of diabetes. Some symptoms include:

• Excessive thirst
• Frequent urination
• Weight loss
• Fatigue
• Blurry vision
• Slow healing wounds
• Weak immunity
• Hunger pangs

The test is also prescribed for people who are showing risk factors for diabetes, like high blood pressure, sedentary lifestyle, and obesity.

It is not required to fast before the RBS test, it can be done at any time. Some medicines like diuretics, corticosteroids, and blood pressure medicines can cause a spike in the blood sugar levels. Inform the doctor about the medicines beforehand.

During the RBS Test

Once the RBS test is booked, a phlebotomist will arrive at the specified location at the specified time to collect the blood sample. Using new and sterilised needles and gloves, they draw the blood in a pain-free manner. They also use a vein finder device that helps to locate the ideal vein to draw blood from.
