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.
Patients with diabetes have above-normal levels of blood sugar and difficulty converting food to energy. An endocrinologist uses three tests to diagnose diabetes. A random plasma glucose test measures blood sugar without regard to when the patient last ate. A fasting plasma glucose test looks at blood sugar in a patient who has not eaten for at least eight hours.
