Test Diabetes

Diabetes is one of the most common conditions around the world as well as with many serious complications. The symptoms can range from mild to severe and even lead to death. Hence, it is important to test diabetes and start treatment during its early onset. This reduces the chances of being affected by serious symptoms and complications.

Test for diabetes:

Doctors have different methods to test for prediabetes and diabetes. They don’t test for Insulin resistance as the tests are complicated and are usually used for research purposes. The testing starts with:

  • Questions related to family history: Doctors ask this to know if there are blood relatives who are/were diagnosed with diabetes or prediabetes or insulin resistance.
  • Physical exam: This is done to calculate the weight and height. Knowing this will make the doctors aware if the patient is obese or not.
