My doctor asked me to do a fasting blood sugar test. What is this test, and why is it done?

Asked by Female, 34 · 14 days ago

A fasting blood sugar test measures your blood glucose level after not eating for at least 8 to 10 hours. It helps assess how well your body is controlling blood sugar without the effects of recent food intake. This test is commonly used to diagnose diabetes or monitor how well treatment is working. Your doctor uses the result to plan or adjust your treatment if needed.
