Glucose, Fasting (FBS)

Description

The Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) test measures glucose levels after an 8-hour fast, typically overnight. It’s a cornerstone in diabetes diagnosis and management. FBS provides a baseline glucose measurement, unaffected by recent food intake. This test is crucial for diagnosing diabetes, prediabetes, and monitoring long-term glucose control in diabetic patients. Results help guide treatment decisions and lifestyle recommendations.
