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

Which blood tests diagnose diabetes?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi Doctor. Today I did a fasting blood sugar test, and my blood sugar came as 110. The normal range is 60 to 110. Should I be worried? Please advise. Thanks.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I had a postprandial blood sugar (PPBS) test 2 hours after a meal, and the result was 250. Can you explain why this level is high? Also, can I take fish oil (Omega 3) for cholesterol management?
