What Is an FBS Test and How Can Ayurveda Help Maintain Healthy Fasting Blood Sugar Levels? - #16008

I recently had a routine blood test, and my doctor told me that my FBS test results were slightly higher than normal. At the time, I did not fully understand what an FBS test measures, but after some research, I found out that it stands for Fasting Blood Sugar test, which is used to check glucose levels after fasting for several hours. My doctor said that an elevated FBS test could indicate prediabetes or early signs of diabetes, which really concerns me. I do not have any noticeable symptoms, but I want to understand what could be causing my blood sugar to rise. Could stress, lack of sleep, or poor diet affect the FBS test results? Also, does dehydration or fasting longer than necessary influence the numbers? I am particularly interested in knowing how Ayurveda views blood sugar regulation. Instead of relying on medication right away, I want to explore natural ways to bring my fasting blood sugar levels back to normal. Are there Ayurvedic herbs or lifestyle changes that can help? I have heard that fenugreek, bitter gourd, and cinnamon are good for blood sugar control—do these actually work for maintaining a healthy FBS test result? Another thing I am wondering about is whether my diet could be the issue. Does Ayurveda recommend specific meal timings or food combinations to keep fasting blood sugar levels stable? Should I be avoiding certain foods at night to prevent a spike in my FBS test results? If anyone has successfully improved their FBS test results naturally using Ayurvedic methods, I would love to hear what worked for them and how long it took to see a difference.
