What is Random Blood Sugar ?
The Random Blood Sugar (RBS) test measures the amount of glucose in the blood at any given time, regardless of when the patient last ate. This test is often used to check for diabetes or monitor blood sugar levels in individuals already diagnosed with the condition. Since blood sugar levels can fluctuate throughout the day, the Random Blood Sugar test provides a snapshot of the current glucose concentration in the blood. Clinicians may order an RBS test to: Diagnose diabetes: A high RBS level can indicate diabetes, especially if the result is above the normal range (typically over 200 mg/dL). Monitor blood sugar levels: For patients with diabetes, this test helps track glucose levels and assess how well blood sugar is being controlled throughout the day. Assess overall metabolic health: Elevated blood sugar levels could be a sign of insulin resistance or prediabetes, and the test can help identify potential concerns before they develop into more serious conditions.
