The pancreas secretes insulin, a hormone that is used to manage the glucose in the bloodstream. This insulin sends the excess glucose to the liver, where it is stored in the form of glycogen. Excessive levels of glucose in the blood can cause serious health issues like diabetes. Diabetes is a disorder in which the body does not produce enough insulin, or is unable to utilise the insulin.

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 to develop diabetes. These risk factors include:

• Obesity
• Sedentary lifestyle
• High blood pressure

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, minimising patient discomfort and pain. They also use sterilised disposable needles and gloves. The samples are stored in barcoded vials, kept in cooling containers, and then transported to the lab for testing.
