The Glucose, Fasting, Plasma test measures blood glucose levels after an overnight fast and is used to evaluate how the body regulates blood sugar. This test provides important information about metabolic health and insulin function.
It is commonly used to screen for and monitor diabetes or prediabetes and to assess symptoms such as increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, or unexplained weight changes. Results are often interpreted alongside hemoglobin A1c or insulin testing for a more complete assessment of glucose control.
