Diabetes Care Basic
Overview:
Diabetes Care Basic is a basic screening profile designed to assess blood glucose levels and provide an initial picture of diabetes risk and glycemic control.
Tests commonly included:
- Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS)
- Post-Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS)
- HbA1c
- Urine Routine Examination
Who can consider this profile?
- Individuals with a family history of diabetes
- People with increased thirst or frequent urination
- Those who are overweight or physically inactive
- Individuals monitoring their blood sugar regularly
- Adults undergoing routine health screening
Why is it useful?
Combining blood sugar measurements with HbA1c helps assess both current glucose levels and average blood glucose control over the previous 2–3 months.
Sample: Blood / Urine, depending on the tests included
Preparation: Fasting may be required for FBS; follow the laboratory's specific instructions.
Note: Test components and preparation requirements may vary by laboratory. Results should be interpreted along with clinical history and medical advice.
