The pancreas secretes insulin, a hormone that manages glucose in the body. The liver stores the excess amount of glucose in the form of glycogen. Elevated glucose levels for a prolonged period of time are indicative of serious and sometimes chronic health concerns. One such concerning health condition is diabetes, which is caused due to elevated blood sugar levels. In this condition, the body does not produce or utilise the insulin adequately; causing health complications.

Your doctor will recommend you to get the RBS blood test if you are displaying symptoms indicative of elevated blood sugar levels. This test acts as the primary step in identifying diabetes. It is usually recommended to individuals with risk factors that include high blood pressure and being overweight.

The RBS test will also be recommended if any of the following symptoms are noticed:

• Frequent urination
• Extreme thirst
• Unexplained weight loss
• Fatigue
• Blurred vision

RBS blood test results are influenced by a number of factors like the level of physical activity, any illnesses, stress, diet, dehydration, alcohol consumption, lack of sleep, and current medications.

There are no special preparations required before the RBS test. However, there are certain medicines that can cause the glucose levels in the blood to rise. These include blood pressure medicines, corticosteroids, and diuretics. It is advisable to inform your healthcare practitioner about any such medicines before you take the test.
