Understanding Blood Sugar Tests – Fasting, PP & HbA1c

Diabetes is one of the most common health conditions today. Monitoring blood sugar levels regularly helps prevent serious complications such as heart disease, kidney damage, and nerve problems.

There are three main types of blood sugar tests:

  • Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS): Measures sugar level after 8–10 hours of fasting.

  • Post Prandial (PP): Measures sugar level after meals.

  • HbA1c Test: Shows average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months.

Regular testing helps manage diabetes effectively and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Early diagnosis and consistent monitoring are key to long-term health.
