The glucose levels in the body are kept under check by insulin, which is a hormone secreted by the pancreas. Insulin plays a vital role in sending excessive blood sugar to the liver, where it is stored in the form of glycogen. Diabetes is a disorder in which the body does not produce insulin or does not utilise the insulin effectively.

The doctor will prescribe the RBS test if there are any symptoms of diabetes or prediabetes. These symptoms are:

• Frequent urination
• Excessive thirst
• Unexplained weight loss
• Hunger pangs
• Fatigue
• Slow healing wounds
• Blurred vision
• Low immunity

The doctor will also prescribe this test in case the patient shows any risk factors of developing diabetes like obesity or high blood pressure.

A simple blood test, the RBS test can be booked at any time of the day. Fasting is not required. However, there are some medicines like diuretics, corticosteroids, and some blood pressure medicines that can cause an increase in blood sugar levels. Inform the doctor about these beforehand.

During the RBS Test

After the RBS test has been booked, a phlebotomist will be assigned who will arrive at the specific location to collect the blood sample. The phlebotomist uses new sterilised gloves and needles, and a vein finder device that helps them locate the best vein to draw blood from. The blood samples are carefully stored in barcoded vials, and transported to the laboratory for analysis.
