Test Code

Glucose Fasting (FBS) measures blood sugar levels after 8–12 hours of overnight fasting, reflecting baseline glucose regulation by the body. Post Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS) measures blood glucose levels 2 hours after a meal, showing how effectively insulin controls the rise in blood sugar following food intake.

Together, FBS and PPBS provide a comprehensive assessment of glucose metabolism. This combined test is widely used to diagnose diabetes mellitus, prediabetes, and to monitor glycemic control in diabetic patients. Elevated fasting values suggest impaired glucose regulation, while high post-meal values indicate poor insulin response. Doctors often interpret these results along with HbA1c and OGTT for accurate diabetes management.
