BSR (Blood Sugar Random) Test at Chughtai Lab

A BSR (Blood Sugar Random) test, also known as a Random Blood Glucose (RBG) test, measures the level of glucose (sugar) in your blood at any time of the day, regardless of when you last ate. It is one of the most commonly performed laboratory tests for the initial evaluation, diagnosis, and monitoring of diabetes mellitus and other conditions affecting blood sugar levels. Since the test does not require fasting, it is a convenient option for individuals experiencing symptoms of abnormal blood glucose or those requiring immediate assessment.

Doctors may recommend a BSR test if you have symptoms such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, blurred vision, dizziness, slow wound healing, or recurrent infections. It is also widely used in emergency settings, outpatient clinics, hospital admissions, routine health check-ups, and for monitoring blood sugar control in individuals with diabetes.

At Chughtai Lab, the BSR test is performed using advanced laboratory equipment that delivers accurate and reliable blood glucose measurements. Strict quality assurance protocols, experienced laboratory professionals, and a nationwide network of collection centers ensure dependable diagnostic services for patients across Pakistan. Prompt reporting allows healthcare providers to make timely clinical decisions regarding diabetes management and treatment.

BSR (Blood Sugar Random) Reference Ranges

Blood Glucose Level	Interpretation	Clinical Significance
Less than 70 mg/dL	Low Blood Sugar	May indicate hypoglycemia requiring medical evaluation
70–140 mg/dL*	Generally considered within the expected range (depending on meals and individual factors)	Normal blood glucose level
140–199 mg/dL	Elevated Blood Sugar	May require further assessment, especially if persistent
200 mg/dL or higher (with symptoms)	Significantly Elevated	May suggest diabetes mellitus and requires further medical evaluation

*Normal values may vary depending on the time since the last meal, age, underlying medical conditions, and laboratory reference standards.
