Fasting blood sugar test measures blood glucose. Glucose is a type of simple sugar (monosaccharide) that is obtained from the breakdown of food. With the help of the insulin hormone, this sugar moves towards the cells of the body and supplies them with energy. Now the question is, what happens to cause high fbs in blood test? Sometimes the hormone insulin cannot direct glucose to the body's cells, so it accumulates in the blood and sets the stage for diabetes. If you do the Fasting Blood Sugar test at this stage, the results will confirm that the blood sugar level is high.

If the result of the test sheet shows high fbs, the specialist doctor will probably prescribe repeating the blood test. If the result is still positive, your treatment will begin.

To interpret the FBS test, the doctor also recommends other related tests. The tests related to the fbs test include the following:
