Diabetes is a chronic health condition in which your body fails to generate sufficient insulin. Due to this malfunction, there is a build-up of excess blood sugar or glucose in your body. Over time, this health disorder can lead to vision loss, kidney failure, or heart disease.

If you notice these signs, it is crucial to undergo a blood sugar test:

  • Frequent or abnormal urination
  • High level of thirst
  • The extreme intensity of fatigue
  • Blurred vision
  • Unexpected weight loss
  • Numbness in the hands or feet

Your physician will recommend a blood sugar test for an accurate diagnosis of this condition. Generally, an all-inclusive test for diabetes aims to measure your blood glucose levels. The reports of such medical evaluations allow experts to gauge the intensity of diabetes.

So, such an assessment is also known as a Diabetes Panel - Basic in some regions. Usually, a sugar test evaluates other parameters like complete blood count and lipid profile. However, such comprehensive sugar test depends on the choice of your pathology lab.

  • Glucose, Post Prandial (PP), 2 hours (post meal): It measures the blood glucose levels exactly 2 hours after a meal. The test is used to check for diabetes and to monitor how the effectiveness of diabetes treatment. Like glucose (fasting), this test also plays a vital role in  diabetic health checkup.
  • Creatinine, Serum: This test measures how well your kidneys are filtering creatinine, a chemical compound from your blood. Creatinine is a  waste left over from biological processes in your muscles.
  • HbA1C, Glycated Hemoglobin: This test reports your average level of blood glucose levels over the past 2 to 3 months.
  • Complete Urine Examination: The diagnostic test helps detect a number of health disorders, such as urinary tract infections, renal disease and diabetes. It involves checking the appearance, concentration and content of urine.
  • Complete blood count (CBC): There are over 20 tests under this category. These tests evaluate different components of your blood like haemoglobin, red blood cells count, total leucocytes, platelets, packed-cell volume, and others.
