Overview

About Blood Sugar (Fasting/Random)

Blood sugar testing is often the first step in catching diabetes early, before symptoms even show up. We offer both fasting and random versions, and your doctor will usually tell you which one fits your situation.

The fasting version needs 8 to 10 hours without food, so an early morning visit works best, either at our lab or with a home collection before breakfast. The random version can be done anytime, which is handy if you are already feeling unwell and cannot wait.

Whichever version you need, we run it on a calibrated analyzer so your reading is accurate enough to guide real treatment decisions, not just a rough estimate.

What's Included

Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS)

Glucose measured after an 8-10 hour fast.
The main test used to screen for and diagnose diabetes.

Random Blood Sugar (RBS)

Glucose measured at any time, fasting or not.
Useful for a quick check when fasting isn’t practical.

Result Interpretation

Your report shows your value against the standard diabetic range.
Your doctor will explain what your specific number means for you.

How to Prepare

  • For a Fasting Blood Sugar test, don’t eat or drink anything except water for 8-10 hours before your visit.
  • For a Random Blood Sugar test, no fasting is needed, come in anytime.
  • Take your usual medication unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
