Follow us :
1️⃣ GTT – Glucose Tolerance Test
Purpose:
Checks how your body handles glucose (sugar) over time. Used to diagnose diabetes or prediabetes, and commonly used in gestational diabetes (pregnancy).
Procedure:
Fasting blood sugar is measured
Patient drinks glucose solution
Blood sugar levels tested at intervals (usually at 1 and 2 hours)
Normal Results:
2-hour value: <140 mg/dL = Normal
140–199 mg/dL = Prediabetes
≥200 mg/dL = Diabetes
2️⃣ HbA1c – Glycated Hemoglobin
Purpose:
Shows average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months. It’s a key test to monitor long-term control in diabetic patients.
Normal Range:
<5.7% = Normal
5.7%–6.4% = Prediabetes
≥6.5% = Diabetes
Goal for diabetics: Usually <7%, but depends on the individual.
3️⃣ Urea (Blood Urea Nitrogen – BUN)
Purpose:
Assesses kidney function. Diabetes can damage the kidneys over time (diabetic nephropathy).
Normal Range:
7–20 mg/dL (can vary)
High levels = possible kidney dysfunction or dehydration.
4️⃣ Creatinine (Serum Creatinine)
Purpose:
Another important kidney function marker. High creatinine suggests reduced kidney filtering ability.
Normal Range:
Men: 0.7–1.3 mg/dL
Women: 0.6–1.1 mg/dL
Used to calculate eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate).
5️⃣ Urine Deposits / Routine Urine Test
Purpose:
Detects protein, glucose, ketones, pus cells, red cells, crystals in urine — important to monitor for kidney damage, infections, or uncontrolled sugar.
Findings may include:
Proteinuria: Early sign of kidney damage
Glucose in urine: Suggests high blood sugar
Pus cells: Infection
Ketones: Seen in uncontrolled diabetes.
6️⃣ Hemogram (Complete Blood Count – CBC)
Purpose:
Checks overall blood health, including anemia, infections, and immune status.
Includes:
Hemoglobin (Hb) – oxygen-carrying capacity
WBC count – infection status
Platelets – clotting ability
RBC indices – anemia types
Important for diabetics who may have chronic fatigue, infections, or inflammation.
7️⃣ Lipid Profile / Lipid Panel
Purpose:
Assesses cholesterol and triglycerides, since diabetics are at high risk for heart disease.
Includes:
Total Cholesterol
LDL (Bad cholesterol)
HDL (Good cholesterol)
Triglycerides
Target Levels (for diabetics):
Total Cholesterol: <200 mg/dL
LDL: <100 mg/dL (or <70 if high-risk)
HDL: >40 (men), >50 (women)
Triglycerides: <150 mg/dL
