No, a full blood count does not detect diabetes. Only a test which can detect diabetes is a blood sugar test.

Dr. Rohinipriyanka Suggests...

Take a Acetylcholine Receptor (ACHR) Antibody Test Test or Take a Vitamin D (1,25 Dihydroxy Cholecalciferol) Test

Is it possible to lower one's blood sugar before a blood test?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

As per my blood report, GHb (HbA1C) is 10.3. Does this mean I am diabetic? Can it be reduced? I have never had any symptoms of diabetes.
