Overview

Fasting glucose measures the concentration of glucose in your blood after you have not eaten for at least 8 hours. If that baseline level is elevated, it suggests your body is having difficulty keeping blood sugar within the normal range.

This test is one of the standard tools for screening for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. Many practitioners pair fasting glucose with HbA1c, which reflects your average blood sugar over the previous 2 to 3 months.

Symptoms

This test screens for elevated fasting blood sugar levels associated with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. It's often used alongside HbA1c for a more complete picture.

Questions

  • 8-12 hours. An overnight fast works best.
  • Yes, water is fine and encouraged.
  • Fasting glucose is a single snapshot. HbA1c reflects your average over 2-3 months.
  • Usually a second test is needed to confirm.
  • Acute stress can temporarily raise blood glucose.

How to prepare

Fast for 8-12 hours before your blood draw. Water is fine and encouraged. Avoid coffee, juice, or any flavoured drinks. An early morning appointment is ideal.

After the test

Take your result to your GP. If elevated, they'll discuss whether further testing is appropriate.

Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.

Understanding results

Fasting plasma glucose is reported in mmol/L:
- Below 6.0: normal
- 6.0-6.9: impaired fasting glucose (prediabetes range)
- 7.0 or above: consistent with diabetes on two separate fasting tests

Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.

After turning 40, I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to drop dead from something basic I should have known about earlier. Measuring all my core biomarkers each year gives me peace of mind my health is on the right track"

If your test needs fasting, we’ll include that in your instructions after you order. Fasting usually means no food for 8–12 hours, but water is fine.

Just your pathology referral form (we email it to you)

Of course. Just maybe don’t bring the friend who faints at the sight of blood.

They’re the highly trained professionals who take your blood sample - with a steady hand and a sharp needle. They love blood, but don’t worry… they’re not vampires. Just legends who make blood tests quick, clean, and (almost) painless.

Some of our tests include Urine, Stool, Saliva and more. Each test will have a clear description on what sample you will need to give and instructions on how.
