Welcome to H.C.M.I am Dr Krishna Dubey.
As you asked about Mantoux test and Fasting blood sugar, I tell you that it has not any direct relation with Fasting blood sugar.
Only one thing that can increase sugar during Mantoux test is Stress.
Patient usually be in stress during Mantoux test. So no need to worry.
Be stress free and repeat you fbs after one week.
Hope all will well.Thanx for query.
