About this service
Description
The Fasting Blood Sugar test is performed to diagnose conditions like diabetes and prediabetes, to monitor conditions like high blood glucose (hyperglycaemia) or low blood glucose (hypoglycaemia), and to screen for risk factors for diabetes, by checking whether the level of blood sugar is within the normal range, post fasting overnight.
Overview of the FBS Test
Also known as the fasting blood glucose test, FBS, and fasting plasma glucose test, the fasting blood sugar test measures the level of blood sugar after fasting overnight. Generally, elevated levels of fasting blood sugar, beyond the normal range of the test, are associated with medical conditions like diabetes, prediabetes, or insulin resistance. In such conditions, a person’s body is unable to manage and utilise blood sugar properly. The cost of the fasting blood sugar test includes a blood sample collection, which is used to diagnose diabetes, or other conditions related to insulin production and management.

Why it's done
The FBS test is generally prescribed when doctors need to determine the range of fasting blood sugar levels in a person’s body. The test is suggested for people showing symptoms that indicate diabetes or prediabetes, people undergoing treatment for conditions that can affect blood sugar levels, and to people with high-risk factors for developing conditions like diabetes. The normal range under the fasting blood sugar test may vary based on an individual’s health, age, pre-existing health conditions, etc., and the price of the fasting blood sugar test will depend on whether other tests are being opted for, along with the FBS test.
