Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS)
FBS
Diabetes-related testing includes fasting and post-meal glucose, oral glucose-tolerance tests (OGTT and GCT), HbA1c (3-month glycemic average), and insulin levels. Some tests require fasting for 8 hours beforehand and may involve a glucose drink during the visit — preparation instructions are sent ahead of your appointment.

Standard yearly physical-exam workup — accepted for most employment, school admission, and renewal applications. Ten core tests covering blood count, urine, stool, blood sugar, kidney function, liver enzymes, cholesterol, and hepatitis B screening.
Comprehensive executive-level annual workup. Adds HbA1c (3-month glycemic average), full lipid profile, broader kidney and liver panels, uric acid, and Anti-HCV to the standard APE. Designed for adults aged 35+ or those with cardiovascular risk factors.
First-trimester baseline workup for newly pregnant patients. Covers maternal blood work, blood typing, basic chemistry, infectious-disease screening (HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B), and the full TORCH panel for in-utero infection risk (Toxoplasma, CMV, Rubella, HSV).
Standard diabetes monitoring panel — current glucose (FBS), 3-month glycemic average (HbA1c), cardiovascular risk (lipid profile), early kidney-damage screening (microalbumin), and baseline kidney function (BUN, creatinine). Recommended every 3-6 months for diabetic patients.
Cardiovascular risk profile combining lipid profile, blood-sugar markers (FBS, HbA1c), an inflammation marker (high-sensitivity CRP), and a cardiac marker (Troponin I qualitative). Recommended for adults 40+, smokers, or those with family history of heart disease.
