Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's):
1. What is the Random Blood Sugar test?
It measures blood sugar at any point during the day, regardless of meal timing, to check for elevated glucose levels.
2. Who should get an RBS test?
It’s useful for anyone with symptoms like increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, or in situations where fasting tests aren’t practical.
3. What ranges are considered normal for RBS?
A normal random blood sugar level is typically below 140?mg/dL. Levels of 200?mg/dL or higher may indicate diabetes and require further testing.
4. Do I need to fast before an RBS test?
No fasting is necessary, making the test quick and convenient.
5. How is RBS different from fasting blood sugar?
Fasting blood sugar gives a baseline measure before eating, while RBS shows how blood sugar behaves in real-life conditions after meals or during daily activities.
6. What should I do if my RBS result is high?
If your RBS is 200?mg/dL or above, your doctor may recommend confirmatory tests like fasting blood sugar, HbA1c, or an oral glucose tolerance test.
