3. Key Labs for Diabetes Testing
FBS Fasting Blood Sugar (glucose) levels
GTT Glucose Tolerance Test
PPBS 2Hr. Post-Prandial Blood Sugar
HbA1C Hemoglobin Average Amount of glucose in a 2-3 month period.
Lipid profile HDL, cholesterol, LDL, triglyceridesare recommended also
4. FBS
The FBS Fasting Blood Sugar or Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) test is the standard test for diagnosing diabetes. It is a simple blood test taken after 8-10 hours of fasting.
In general, results indicate the following
FPG levels are considered normal up to 100 mg/dL (or 5.5 mmol/L).
Levels between 100 and 125 mg/dL (5.5 to 7.0 mmol/L) are referred to as impaired fasting glucose or pre-diabetes. These levels are considered to be risk factors for type 2 diabetes and its complications.
Diabetes is diagnosed when FPG levels are 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or higher.
Might be ordered to help diagnose diabetes. Blood Glucose (BC) can be measured after 8-10 hours of fasting
5. GTTTest

GTT- To determine if blood glucose level are in healthy ranges; to screen for, diagnose, and monitor hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, diabetes, and pre-diabetes

6. A fasting glucose is collected; then the patient drinks a customary amount of a glucose solution to "challenge" their system. This is followed by one or more additional glucose tests performed at specific intervals to track glucose levels over time.
