What is Fasting Blood Sugar Test

The fasting blood sugar test is a laboratory test that measures the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood after a period of fasting. Patients are typically asked to fast for at least 8 hours before the test. Blood is then drawn from a vein in the arm and sent to the lab for analysis. This test is often used to screen for diabetes or to monitor blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes.
