What is Random Blood Sugar (RBS)?
Measures blood glucose at any time regardless of when you last ate. A quick screening test for diabetes when fasting is not possible.
Why is this test important?
A random blood sugar of 200 mg/dL or higher with diabetes symptoms suggests diabetes. Not as precise as fasting glucose or HbA1c but useful for urgent screening.
How to Prepare
No preparation needed. Can be done at any time.

Do I need to fast before my blood test?▼
It depends on the test. Tests like lipid profile and fasting blood sugar require 10-12 hours of fasting. Tests like CBC, vitamin D, and thyroid do not require fasting. Each test page on our website clearly states the fasting requirements.
