Overview

Glucose Fasting

Glucose Fasting

The Glucose Fasting Test (also known as the Fasting Blood Sugar or FBS test) measures the amount of glucose (sugar) in your bloodstream after a period of prolonged fasting. Glucose is the body's primary source of energy, and its level is regulated by the hormone insulin, produced by the pancreas.

This test is the standard initial screening tool for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes and pre-diabetes.


Why Do You Need This Test?

The Fasting Glucose Test provides an accurate snapshot of your body's ability to regulate blood sugar when no food is being processed. It is essential for:

  • Screening for Diabetes: Identifying individuals with elevated sugar levels who may have Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes.
  • Diagnosing Pre-Diabetes: Detecting slightly elevated levels that indicate a high risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes later on.
  • Monitoring Treatment: Assessing how effectively diet, exercise, and medication (like insulin or Metformin) are managing blood sugar levels in known diabetic patients.
  • Investigating Symptoms: Evaluating symptoms related to high blood sugar (e.g., increased thirst, frequent urination, blurred vision) or low blood sugar (e.g., sweating, dizziness, confusion).

Frequently asked questions on " Glucose Fasting "

The Glucose Fasting Test (also known as the Fasting Plasma Glucose, or FPG) is a blood test that measures the amount of glucose (sugar) in your blood after a period of fasting (typically 8 to 12 hours). This test provides a critical baseline measurement of how your body manages sugar when there are no immediate dietary influences. It primarily checks the efficiency of your insulin—the hormone that moves glucose from your bloodstream into your cells for energy. The FPG test is the simplest and most common screening tool used to detect conditions characterized by abnormally high blood sugar.

Preparation (CRITICAL): You must fast for 8 to 12 hours prior to the blood draw. Fasting means no food, no beverages other than plain water, and no coffee or tea. The only exception is prescription medication. Collection: A standard blood sample is drawn from the arm.
