What is the BLOOD GLUCOSE-F-149 Test?

Fasting Blood Sugar, also called the Fasting Plasma Glucose test, measures your fasting blood glucose level. Fasting means you should not eat or drink (anything except water) for 8 hours. This test is used to screen for prediabetes and diabetes and check the effectiveness of medications or dietary changes for people diagnosed with diabetes. 

A fasting blood glucose test determines the body's ability to use or store glucose. High blood sugar levels suggest diabetes or insulin resistance. Insulin deficiency causes type 1 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body's insulin is not properly utilized. In both circumstances, blood sugar rises, and cells starve.

Apart from diabetes, higher glucose levels can be seen in insulin resistance, hormonal imbalances, and pancreatic, liver, or kidney disease. Engaging in physical activity and consuming a balanced diet are great ways to control your sugar levels.
