About the Diabetes Profile Basic
The basic diabetes profile includes fasting sugar, post-meal sugar and HbA1c. Fasting and post-meal glucose show your sugar at specific times, and HbA1c shows your average sugar over about three months. Together they screen for diabetes and show how well it is controlled.
Symptoms and situations where this test helps
- Increased thirst, frequent urination, tiredness or blurred vision
- Age above 30 with overweight, or a family history of diabetes
- Known diabetes needing regular follow-up
- History of gestational diabetes or PCOS
Understanding your results
As a general guide, fasting glucose of 126 mg/dL or higher, post-meal 200 or higher, and HbA1c 6.5% or higher are in the diabetic range, while HbA1c 5.7 to 6.4% suggests pre-diabetes. Your doctor confirms the diagnosis and sets your targets.
What your doctor may advise next
Your doctor may advise lifestyle changes, medicines, and tests for kidney, eyes and cholesterol, which diabetes can affect.
