Diabetes detection test And Glucose fasting Diabetes test

• Diabetes detection test

• Diabetes test

Diabetes is a disease in which blood glucose levels are higher than normal. Due to which the diabetes patient has trouble converting food into energy. Normally after meals, the body converts food into glucose which goes through the blood cells throughout the body. Cells use insulin. It is a hormone that is made in the pancreas and converts blood glucose into energy. It is usually difficult to detect because its symptoms are similar to those of common health problems. Therefore, testing for the diagnosis of diabetes is very important. Let us know what kind of tests are done to detect diabetes.

• Glucose fasting test

Glucose fasting test, also known as fasting plasma glucose (FPG). This test is done in the morning without eating or drinking anything. Fasting before the test helps to find the correct level of blood sugar. This test is very accurate, cheap and convenient. The glucose fasting test is the most popular test for pre-diabetes and diabetes detection.

• Oral glucose tolerance test

Oral glucose tolerance test is also known as (OGTT). Before this test, about 75 grams of anhydrous glucose has to be mixed with water and drink for about 2 hours before that the right level of sugar can be checked. This test is said to be done to a person who is suspected of diabetes, but his FPG test shows normal blood sugar levels. To test the OGTT, at least 8 to 12 hours in advance, nothing has to be eaten.

• A1c test

The A1C test shows the average amount of blood sugar within the last two to three months, not showing the daily fluctuations of diabetes. It also measures the amount of glucose associated with hemoglobin and red blood cells. A1C test is not commonly used for type 1 diabetes or gestational diabetes, this test is used to detect pre diabetes and type 2 diabetes. It is more convenient for patients than traditional glucose test as it does not require fasting. This test can be done at any time of the day.

• Random plasma glucose

Random plasma glucose (RPG) test is sometimes used to diagnose pre-diabetes or diabetes during a routine health check-up. If the RPG shows the tithe of 200 liters per microgram or above, then the person shows signs of diabetes, then the doctor does another test to detect diabetes.
