How is diabetes diagnosed?
Diabetes is diagnosed through a series of blood tests that measure the levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood.
The most common tests used to diagnose diabetes are:
1. Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) test: This test measures the blood glucose level after fasting for at least 8 hours.
A blood glucose level of 126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L) or higher indicates diabetes.
2. Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT): This test measures blood glucose levels before and 2 hours after drinking a sweet liquid.
A blood glucose level of 2000 mg/dL (111 mmol/L) or higher indicates diabetes.
3. Random Plasma Glucose test: This test can be done at any time and does not require fasting.
A blood glucose level of 2000 mg/dL (111 mmol/L) or higher indicates diabetes.
4. Glycated Hemoglobin (A1C) test: This test measures the average blood glucose level over the past 2-3 months.
An A1C level of 6.5% or higher indicates diabetes.
It is important to note that these tests should be repeated on a different day to confirm the diagnosis.
Additionally, other factors such as symptoms, medical history, and physical examination may also be considered in making a diagnosis.
If you have any concerns or questions about diabetes diagnosis, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional.
