how does one screen for diabetes?


Question:


Answers:
The doctor will order several tests like FBS(Fasting Blood Sugar) which should have a result in the range of 60 -110 and HBA1C which should not be greater than 6.

Your doctor may ask for OGTT which is Oral Glucose Tolerance Test. They will extract blood from you first then ask you to drink a sweet orange stuff then take your sugar level after one hour. They will again ask you to drink the sweet stuff then take your blood sugar again after an hour. Then after that test they will declare if you are diabetic or not.

I pray that your result will be negative.

Good day!
Go to your doctor and get a fasting glucose test and a A1C blood test.
