How Do Blood Sugar Tests Help Detect Diabetes?

Diabetes is a chronic condition affecting millions globally, but early detection can transform lives. Blood sugar tests are a basis for diagnosing and managing diabetes, providing insights into glucose levels and potential health risks. However, navigating healthcare on your own can be challenging. That's where One Health Assist comes in, offering an integrated approach to simplify your journey from diagnosis to treatment.

This guide will explore the different blood sugar tests used for diabetes diagnosis, explain their significance, and show how One Health Assist can support you every step of the way.

 

Understanding Diabetes and Blood Sugar

Diabetes arises when the body cannot produce or effectively use insulin, leading to high blood sugar (hyperglycemia). Unchecked blood sugar levels can result in complications like heart disease, kidney failure, nerve damage, and more.

Blood sugar tests measure the glucose in your blood. They are crucial for understanding whether you're within a healthy range, with OneHealth Locker, a feature designed to store and manage all your medical records securely, letting you access and track your test results effortlessly and help you stay on top of your health journey.

Types of Blood Sugar Tests

Here's a quick overview of the most common blood sugar tests and their significance:

● Fasting Blood Sugar Test (FBS): Measures glucose levels after fasting for 8 hours.

● Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT): Evaluates your body's ability to process glucose over time.

● Hemoglobin A1c Test (HbA1c): Reflects your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months.

● Random Blood Sugar Test: Measures glucose levels at any time, often used for quick diagnosis.

Each of these tests provides unique insights, and at One Health Assist, we ensure your lab tests are accurate and accessible. Book your lab tests conveniently via us and enjoy reliable services tailored to your needs
