Diabetes and the Fasting Plasma Glucose Test. The fasting plasma glucose test (FPG) is the preferred method for diagnosing diabetes, because it is easy to do, convenient, and less expensive than other tests, according to the American Diabetes Association.
It is a relatively new type of diabetes test, which is used to test for prediabetes, type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Unlike older more complex tests, the A1C test only requires a pin-prick of blood and no fasting beforehand is required.es, if you have already been diagnosed with diabetes, a home test can be used to help self-monitor your glucose levels (in addition to daily glucose monitoring). Tests sold for this purpose over the counter in pharmacies include A1C Now Self-Check by Bayer which costs around $30.
