What is Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) Test?
A fasting blood sugar (FBS) test is used to measure the amount of glucose (sugar) present in your blood after fasting for a whole night or 8 hours. This test is employed to watch individuals with diabetes. The fasting blood sugar test is the most commonly prescribed test for diabetes and it is the simplest and fastest test.
What does it Measure?
Glucose - Fasting Blood Test is done to measure the levels of glucose in blood during the period of fasting.Glucose is the main source of energy for the body. Carbohydrates consumed within the diet are weakened within the body to glucose, which is absorbed by the intestines and transported by the blood to varied organs.The cells of those organs utilize the glucose to supply energy when required, and therefore the excess is stored either as glycogen within the liver for short-term storage or in fat tissues as triglycerides for long-term storage.The uptake, utilization, and storage of glucose after it's absorbed within the intestines is facilitated by the hormone- insulin which is secreted by the pancreas. Insulin influences the transport of glucose to the organs like the heart, brain, working muscles, etc. It also directs the storage of excess glucose. The action of insulin reduces sugar levels within the blood. Glucose - Fasting blood Test helps to determine if the body can utilize or store glucose efficiently. High levels of sugar within the blood indicate diabetes or resistance to insulin.Type 1 Diabetes is caused when insulin isn't produced or produced in little or no quantity. Type 2 Diabetes is caused when insulin produced isn't utilized effectively by the body. In both these cases, blood glucose level rises, while cells are bereft of nutrition.
