|---|---|---|---|

Frequently asked questions
What does a Fasting Blood Sugar report format look like?
The report lists a single Fasting Glucose result with its unit, reference range, testing method, and status, along with a clinical notes section — as shown in the sample report above.
How many hours should I fast before this test?
At least 8 hours without food is standard; water is fine to drink during the fasting window.
What is a normal fasting glucose level?
A fasting glucose below 100 mg/dL is generally considered normal; 100-125 mg/dL suggests prediabetes and 126 mg/dL or higher (on repeat testing) suggests diabetes, per standard clinical thresholds.
How is this different from a Random or Post Prandial blood sugar test?
Fasting Blood Sugar is drawn after 8+ hours without food, Random Blood Sugar can be drawn any time, and Post Prandial is drawn about 2 hours after a meal — each has a different reference range.
