Sugar or glucose is the main energy source for the body. It is generated from the food we eat and is transported by the blood to various organs.

High blood sugar or hyperglycemia (if blood sugar level is higher than normal) can trigger type 1 diabetes, or type 2 diabetes or gestational diabetes in pregnant women.

High blood sugar is the cause of diabetes but apart from diabetes there may be some conditions linked to high blood sugar like- overactive thyroid gland, pancreas inflammation, pancreatic cancer and several rare types of tumours.

High blood sugar may be noted in people who don't have diabetes but are seriously ill such as those who have recently had a stroke or heart attack or have a severe infection.

Blood sugar levels change throughout the day. Generally, when they drop below 70 mg/dl, doctors call it low blood sugar or hypoglycemia. At this point you need to consult a doctor to take action to bring it back up. It is especially common in people with type 1 diabetes because insulin drastically reduces blood sugar. Low blood sugar is dangerous if it is not treated timely.

The RBS blood test diagnoses diabetes quickly. A doctor may prescribe this test if the patient has a family history of diabetes.

Additionally, your doctor may prescribe the glucose test if you show the following symptoms:

1. Dry mouth and dehydration
2. Unintended weight loss
3. Blurry vision
4. Slow healing of wounds
5. Frequent urination
6. Tingling or numbness sensation in the extremities.

The RBS test is very helpful for diabetes management in patients who require a supplementary dose of insulin. Your doctor may recommend frequent RBS tests during as well as after treatment to monitor how well you are responding to your treatment.

The RBS test does not require fasting or any special preparation since the blood can be drawn randomly at any time of the day. But if you are undergoing any medications including steroids you need to inform the doctor prior to the test as they too can be responsible for high blood sugar levels.
