What is it?

Fasting plasma glucose measures blood sugar levels after an overnight fast. It is a primary tool for diagnosing diabetes. Elevated levels can indicate the body's inability to regulate sugar effectively. Diet, pancreatic function, and insulin sensitivity play roles in determining these levels.
