What is a Sugar Test?

A Sugar Test – Essential is a group of tests designed to measure blood glucose levels, helping to screen for and monitor diabetes, prediabetes, and related metabolic disorders. These tests assess how your body processes sugar and include:

  • Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) – checks glucose levels after 8–12 hours of fasting
  • Postprandial Blood Sugar (PPBS) – checks levels 2 hours after a meal
  • HbA1c (Glycated Hemoglobin) – shows average blood sugar over the last 2–3 months
  • Random Blood Sugar (RBS) – checks sugar at any time of the day (optional)

This screening helps detect early signs of blood sugar imbalances and prevents long-term complications such as nerve damage, kidney problems, and cardiovascular disease.
