Know More about GLUCOSE FASTING (F)
The Glucose Fasting Test, or Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) test, indicates your blood sugar levels after fasting (water only) for 8–12 hours. It detects diabetes, prediabetes, and blood sugar imbalances early—often before symptoms appear. It is also used to monitor sugar control in people with diabetes and provide more guidance on treatment decisions. Detecting the problem early with the test can help prevent serious complications and long-term health consequences.
Process
- You fast for 8–12 hours (water only).
- A healthcare professional will take a small sample of your blood (usually done in the morning).
- The sample is sent to a lab to evaluate the glucose levels.
When to get tested
You should consider this test for risk factors such as obesity, family history of diabetes, high blood pressure, or if you are experiencing symptoms such as frequent urination or extreme thirst. It is also recommended in routine check-ups or pregnancy.
Sample Type
A blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm.
Test Preparation
Do not consume food, caffeine, or smoke 8-12 hours before the test. You can drink water.
Understanding Your Results
The normal results are less than 100 mg/dL, levels of 100-125 mg/dL suggest pre-diabetes, and levels of 126 mg/dL or higher (on 2 separate tests) confirm diabetes. Further testing or lifestyle changes may be suggested.
