The pancreas secretes insulin, a hormone that manages glucose in the bloodstream. This insulin sends excess glucose to the liver, where it is stored as glycogen. Excess glucose in the blood can cause serious health issues, like diabetes, a disorder in which the body does not produce enough insulin or is unable to use it.

Test Necessity
If the doctor observes any symptoms of pre-diabetes or diabetes, they will prescribe the RBS test. The symptoms are:
- Frequent urination
- Excessive thirst
- Unexplained weight loss
- Blurry vision
- Slow healing wounds
- Weak immunity
- Hunger pangs, despite eating enough
The RBS test is also prescribed for people who have risk factors for developing diabetes. These risk factors include:

Test Preparation
No special preparation like fasting has to be done before the RBS test. Some medications like corticosteroids, diuretics, and blood pressure medicine can cause a spike in the glucose levels. Before the RBS test, inform the doctor about any of these medicines.
During the RBS Test
After the RBS test is booked, the phlebotomist will be assigned to you, who will arrive at your house on the specified date and time to collect the blood sample. The phlebotomists carry a vein finder device that helps them locate the ideal vein in the forearm to draw blood, minimizing patient discomfort and pain. They also use sterilized disposable needles and gloves. The samples are stored in barcoded vials, kept in cooling containers, and then transported to the lab for testing.

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.
