Blood Sugar Randam (Bsr)

A random blood sugar test involves drawing blood at any given time, no matter when you last ate. This test is used when you have symptoms of high blood sugar like increased, appetite, increased thirst, increased urination or symptoms of low blood glucose like sweating, hunger, anxiety. It can also be used if you are pregnant or you have risk factors for diabetes like smoking, hypertension, hyperlipidemia. Glucose is the primary form of sugar found in your body. This sugar comes from the food you intake and is circulated throughout your body as an energy source. Blood sugar plays a vital role in providing your body with the essential nutrients required for the efficient functioning of all organs. The glucose that enters your bloodstream is kept in check by certain hormones released by the pancreas, such as insulin. The insulin hormone is responsible for sending excessive blood sugar from the blood into the liver. Here, it is stored in the form of glycogen, which can be later used by the body to raise blood sugar levels. Diabetes is a medical condition in which your body fails to produce enough insulin or the produced insulin is ineffective at controlling your blood sugar levels. Diabetic patients must keep their blood glucose levels under check to avoid complications. A Random Blood Sugar test is a method that checks your circulating blood sugar level at any time. A Random Blood Sugar test is prescribed for people who display symptoms such as frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, increased appetite, extreme fatigue and blurred vision. These symptoms can be an indication of increased blood sugar levels (Diabetes). Symptoms such as feeling extremely thirsty and a slow wound healing rate also call for a Random Blood Sugar test. The result of the Random Glucose test helps a doctor in determining your chances of having diabetes. Subsequent tests are needed to come to a final diagnosis. Approximately 77 million people in India are affected by diabetes. The condition’s prevalence falls in the range of 10.9% to 14.2%, whereas in rural India, around 3.0-7.8% of the population is affected by the disease. Individuals older than 50 years are more likely to suffer from diabetes. Researchers have predicted that around 134 million people will have diabetes by 2045. The result of a Blood Sugar Random test is evaluated through a blood sample and analysing the blood sugar level present.
