The hormone insulin, secreted by the pancreas, manages glucose in the body. All the excess glucose in the body is sent to the liver which is stored in the form of glycogen. If the glucose levels are elevated for a prolonged period of time, it may lead to serious health repercussions. Diabetes is only one such health condition that is caused due to elevated blood sugar levels. In a scenario like this, the body does not produce or utilise the insulin properly causing health complications.
Test Necessity
The RBS blood test is recommended for individuals displaying symptoms indicative of increased blood sugar levels. It acts as the primary step to identify diabetes. The test is usually recommended to individuals with risk factors that include high blood pressure and overweight.
The RBS test may also be recommended if any of the following symptoms are noticed:
