No, tests like HBA1C and Glucose fasting help in detecting diabetes.

Take a Aldolase Serum Test or Take a Total Leucocyte Counts And Differential Leucocyte Counts(TLC & DLC) Test

What does it mean when your RDW is high?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am 25 years old and have been experiencing weakness, fatigue, shortness of breath, excessive sleep, and occasional hand shivering. I consulted a doctor who advised various tests, including an X ray, all of which came back normal. The doctor said I am okay and recommended focusing on diet and exercise, which I am already doing. Another doctor suggested testing my Vitamin B12, Vitamin D3, and calcium levels. Although my mother received injections and has normal reports, my tests show a Vitamin B12 level of 182 (normal range 239 to 931) and Vitamin D (25hydroxy) level of 18.8 (normal range 20 to 100). Are these results normal? Please advise on what steps I should take.

Doctor, I have been getting black, itchy spots on my legs. I was advised to get a blood test, and I have attached the report. Could you please review it and let me know if there is anything concerning?
