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

A sample is collected at the centre and analysed in the laboratory. The sample type — blood, urine, stool or another body fluid — depends on the specific test, and the collection staff will tell you which one applies.

• Fasting: only some laboratory tests need fasting, and this varies test by test. Ask the centre whether fasting is required for this specific test when you book, rather than assuming.
• Medication: tell the laboratory about medicines, supplements and recent injections, because some can affect results.
• Requesting slip: bring the doctor's advice or previous reports so the laboratory runs and compares the right test.
• Report timing: turnaround differs between routine and specialised tests — the centre will tell you when your report is ready.

Have a registered doctor interpret the result together with your symptoms rather than self-diagnosing from reference ranges.
