A Fasting Blood Sugar test (also called FBS, Fasting Plasma Glucose, or FPG) is one of the simplest and most affordable diabetes screening tests. It measures the glucose level in your blood after an overnight fast of 8–12 hours. At VRX Diagno Lounge in Goregaon West, the test requires only 1–2 ml of blood, takes under 5 minutes for sample collection, and is reviewed by an experienced pathologist with the report shared the same day. Home collection available 24×7 — early morning slots are most popular due to the fasting requirement.
Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes when fasting glucose is ≥ 126 mg/dL on two tests
Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG) when readings are 100–125 mg/dL — early warning stage
Body cells not responding properly to insulin — precursor to Type 2 diabetes
Abnormally low blood sugar (below 70 mg/dL) — common in diabetics on medication
Pregnancy-related diabetes screening — early identification protects mother and baby
Cluster of conditions including high glucose, BP, and cholesterol — heart disease risk marker
Annual screening recommended for early detection of diabetes and pre-diabetes
Routine monitoring to track glycemic control and adjust treatment
Parents or siblings with Type 2 diabetes — significantly higher genetic risk
BMI above 25 increases insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes risk
High BP often co-exists with diabetes and metabolic syndrome
Polycystic ovary syndrome is strongly linked to insulin resistance
Routine gestational diabetes screening between 24–28 weeks of pregnancy
Excessive thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, or fatigue
| Parameter | What It Measures | Normal Range |
|---|---|---|
| Normal Range | Healthy adults — no diabetes | < 100 mg/dL |
| Pre-Diabetes | Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG) | 100–125 mg/dL |
| Diabetes | Confirmed on two separate tests | ≥ 126 mg/dL |
| Hypoglycemia | Low blood sugar — needs attention | < 70 mg/dL |
| Diabetic Target | Goal range for treated diabetics (ADA) | 80–130 mg/dL |
| Pregnancy Range | Gestational diabetes screen | < 92 mg/dL |
| Children | Pediatric fasting range | 70–100 mg/dL |
| Seniors (65+) | Adults 65+ — slightly relaxed range | < 110 mg/dL |
Fasting glucose below 100 mg/dL indicates healthy blood sugar control and a low risk of diabetes. Continue annual screening if you have risk factors.
100–125 mg/dL indicates pre-diabetes — lifestyle changes recommended. ≥ 126 mg/dL on two tests confirms diabetes — medical treatment needed.
