Glucose is the main source of energy, which we get from the breakdown of carbohydrates in the food we eat. After transformation, glucose is transported with the blood to every cell in the body to provide energy. Glucose is essential to the normal functioning of varied organs and different systems.
Glucose levels are low in the morning before the first meal of the day and rises after having a meal. The blood glucose is tightly regulated so that a constant level is always maintained. Insulin, a hormone regulates blood glucose levels. Hence low secretion or inappropriate use of insulin leads to increased blood glucose levels. A constant level of high blood sugar known as hyperglycemia leads to diabetes mellitus.
An RBS test is performed to diagnose type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes.
In the case of type 1 diabetes the pancreas produces inadequate amounts of insulin or not at all. With type 2 diabetes the body either does not produce enough insulin or it resists insulin. Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy due to hormonal changes and women who develop it are at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in their life.
The RBS test is very helpful for diabetic patients who require a supplementary dose of insulin in case of an emergency.
The major health conditions associated with diabetes are heart related problems, chronic kidney disease, nerve disorders, problems with vision, hearing, oral health, mental health, and feet. Diabetes foot problems can lead to amputations if untreated.
