Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) Test at Home in Srinagar
The simplest and most widely used screening test for diabetes and pre-diabetes.
What does the Fasting Blood Sugar measure?
A fasting blood sugar (FBS) test measures the glucose level in blood after an 8–12 hour overnight fast. It is the simplest first-line screening test for diabetes and pre-diabetes.
Why does it matter?
Diabetes prevalence in J&K is rising rapidly, driven by changing diets and sedentary lifestyles. A fasting glucose between 100–125 mg/dL indicates pre-diabetes — a stage where lifestyle intervention can prevent or reverse the condition. Above 126 mg/dL on two occasions meets the diagnostic criteria for type 2 diabetes.
Who should get this test?
- All adults over 35 as part of an annual check
- People with family history of diabetes
- Those with obesity, abdominal fat, or metabolic syndrome
- Women with PCOS or prior gestational diabetes
