Fasting Glucose Blood Test
FASTING GLUCOSE BLOOD TEST
Fasting Blood Glucose is a straightforward and widely used blood test to screen for diabetes, prediabetes, or gestational diabetes during pregnancy.
A fasting blood glucose test measures the level of glucose in your blood at its lowest point, after you haven't eaten or drunk anything for 12 hours.
Glucose is a form of sugar and serves as the primary energy source for your body. Insulin assists in transporting glucose from your bloodstream into your cells.
An imbalance in blood glucose levels, whether too high or too low, can indicate a medical issue. Elevated blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia) may signal diabetes, a condition that can lead to long-term health problems if not treated.
