Understanding FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar) in Dombivli


What is FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar) in Dombivli?

An FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar) test measures your blood glucose levels at an affordable price in Dombivli with TATA 1mg labs. This test is essential for detecting, monitoring, and managing conditions like diabetes and prediabetes and is done after overnight fasting (8-12 hours). This test provides insights into how well your body manages blood sugar levels, as altered levels can lead to several health issues, including increased risk of diabetes, nerve damage, cardiovascular diseases, kidney problems, and vision impairment. This insight also enables your doctor to intervene timely through lifestyle modifications or medications. This test can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment measures in patients with abnormal blood glucose levels.

What does FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar) measure?

A fasting blood sugar test measures the glucose level in the body under overnight fasting conditions. Glucose serves as 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.
