GLUCOSE FASTING (BSF)

This laboratory investigation evaluates BSF to assess glucose regulation or the body’s response to food or a glucose load. It may help clinicians screen for, diagnose, or monitor disorders of blood sugar when used with appropriate clinical criteria. Timing is essential for fasting, post-meal, or timed glucose tests, so the sample must be collected at the specified interval. Do not change meals or medicines unless instructed by the clinician. Interpret the result with symptoms, medical history, and other relevant findings.
