Detailed explanation-2: -Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS or Fasting Glucose) A test that measures blood sugar levels. Elevated levels are associated with diabetes and insulin resistance, in which the body cannot properly handle sugar (e.g. obesity). Goal values: Less than 100 mg/dL = normal.

Detailed explanation-3: -Conclusions: In conclusion, FBS sounds more reliable to separate diabetic from non-diabetic subjects than HbA1c. In case of being interested in using HbA1c in screening, the conventional cutoff points of 6% is an acceptable threshold for discrimination of diabetics from non-diabetics.

Detailed explanation-4: -Testing is usually recommended before meals and at bedtime if you’re taking multiple daily injections. You may need to test only before breakfast and sometimes before dinner or at bedtime if you use just an intermediate-or a long-acting insulin.
