Fasting Glucose Management

Meaning

Fasting Glucose Management refers to the physiological and clinical strategies employed to maintain circulating blood glucose levels within a healthy, narrow reference range after a period of overnight fasting, typically eight to twelve hours. Optimal management reflects robust metabolic flexibility and insulin sensitivity, indicating the liver’s ability to appropriately regulate endogenous glucose production. Clinically, this is a crucial biomarker for assessing the risk of insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, and overall cardiometabolic health. Consistent elevation is a key indicator of systemic hormonal imbalance.
