Product Details
Glucose is the primary energy source for the body. Carbohydrates in the food are broken down into glucose, which is then absorbed into the bloodstream and transported to the cells for energy. Insulin, produced by the pancreas, regulates the blood glucose level in the body. A lack of insulin or its reduced effectiveness can result in high blood glucose levels.
High blood glucose levels can be a sign of diabetes or prediabetes (a condition where a person has high blood glucose levels but not yet at a level that qualifies as diabetes). Early detection and treatment of diabetes are essential to prevent complications such as heart disease, kidney damage, and nerve damage. An FBS test, also known as glucose fasting test helps screen for prediabetes and diabetes and checks the effectiveness of medications or lifestyle changes for diagnosed people.
Fasting for at least 8–12 hours is recommended before undergoing the FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar) test. Do not eat or drink anything other than water during the fasting period. It is also important to inform the doctor about any medicines being taken, as some may affect the blood glucose levels and need to be adjusted or temporarily discontinued before the test.
FBS test result ranges may vary across the laboratories depending on the methodology and laboratory guidelines. Do not self-medicate. Always consult your doctor to understand your test results. The results will help them understand your condition, suggest lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, to decide if you need medication, and create a treatment plan.

The FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar) test measures the glucose level in the body under overnight fasting conditions. Glucose is the body's energy currency and is broken down through metabolism to produce energy. Hormones and enzymes produced by the liver and pancreas control this process. The hormone insulin, produced by the pancreas, regulates blood glucose levels. When these levels are high, such as after a meal, insulin is secreted to transport glucose into cells for energy production. Elevated glucose levels in the body after fasting may indicate a risk of developing prediabetes or diabetes, which can be of two types: type 1, caused by little or no insulin production, and type 2, caused by insulin resistance or decreased insulin production.
