Fasting Plasma glucose Price in Bangladesh

What is Fasting Plasma glucose?

Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) measures blood sugar levels after at least 8 hours of fasting. It is commonly used to screen for diabetes and prediabetes.

Normal levels are typically below 100 mg/dL, while levels between 100-125 mg/dL indicate prediabetes, and levels 126 mg/dL or higher suggest diabetes. This test is crucial for early detection, monitoring, and managing blood glucose levels to prevent complications.

What to expect & how to prepare

Fasting Plasma glucose is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Fasting Plasma glucose result rather than self-diagnosing.
