Random Plasma glucose Price in Bangladesh

What is Random Plasma glucose?

The Random Plasma Glucose test measures blood sugar levels at any time, regardless of meals. It helps diagnose diabetes or monitor existing conditions.

No special preparation is needed. A blood sample is taken via a fingerstick or vein.

During the test, you may feel a slight prick. Risks are minimal, but include slight discomfort or bruising at the puncture site.

Results are interpreted as follows: normal is below 140 mg/dL, prediabetes is 140-199 mg/dL, and diabetes is 200 mg/dL or higher. Factors like stress, illness, or medications can affect results.

What to expect & how to prepare

Random 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 Random Plasma glucose result rather than self-diagnosing.
