Description

FBS and PPBS are both laboratory tests used to measure the level of glucose (sugar) in a person’s blood.

FBS stands for “fasting blood sugar,” and is a test that measures the level of glucose in the blood after a period of fasting (typically 8-12 hours). This test is often used to screen for diabetes or to monitor blood glucose levels in people with diabetes.

PPBS stands for “postprandial blood sugar,” and is a test that measures the level of glucose in the blood after a meal (typically 2 hours after eating). This test is often used to assess how well a person’s body is able to handle glucose after eating, and can be helpful in diagnosing diabetes or monitoring blood glucose levels in people with diabetes.
