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

Dr. Rohinipriyanka Suggests...

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

What does the 'H' flag mean on a blood test?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I sometimes experience brain fog, pain at the back of my head, and a sensation of being off balance while walking. Sudden head movements cause dizziness, and I also have difficulty with eye movements. Could you please help me understand what these symptoms might indicate based on my report results?
