WHAT IS A bsl blood test?

A BSL (Blood Sugar Level) test measures the amount of glucose in the blood, which is crucial for diagnosing and managing Diabetes. It can be performed as a fasting test, where blood is drawn after not eating for at least eight hours, or as a random test at any time of the day. Monitoring BSL helps assess how well the body is managing blood sugar and guides treatment decisions. Elevated levels may indicate diabetes or prediabetes, while low levels could suggest hypoglycemia.
