FPG stands for Fasting Plasma Glucose, a test used to measure blood sugar levels after an overnight fast (typically 8-12 hours). It is commonly used to diagnose diabetes or prediabetes. Here’s what the results mean:
- Normal: Less than 100 mg/dL
- Prediabetes: 100–125 mg/dL
- Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher
The FPG test is one of the primary tools for assessing blood sugar control and diagnosing diabetes. It is often used alongside other tests like the A1C test or oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).
