The Purpose of a Complete Diabetes Test

Diabetes is a critical, widespread health crisis in America. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 37.3 million people in the United States have type 1 or type 2 diabetes–and that includes 8.5 million adults who have what’s called undiagnosed diabetes, meaning they didn’t know that they had the clinical markers for the disease. A complete blood test for diabetes is essential for diagnosis and treatment.

This disease affects the body’s blood sugar levels. With type 1 diabetes, the pancreas doesn’t produce insulin, which is needed to regulate your blood sugar; in type 2, your body doesn’t get enough insulin. The former is caused by an autoimmune condition, while the latter is often triggered by poor lifestyle habits such as unhealthy diet and lack of exercise. If diabetes isn’t managed, it can lead to nerve damage, heart and kidney disease, vision problems, or other health issues.

  • Increased thirst
  • Frequent urination
  • Fatigue
  • Hunger pangs

Comprehensive Diabetes Test Preparation

You need to fast for eight to 12 hours prior to having your blood drawn for the test. Follow these tips to ensure a smooth testing experience that delivers the most accurate results.

Complete Diabetes Test Results

A physician can look at your results to determine if you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes. If you do have the disease, you’ll need to embark on a diabetes management plan as soon as possible. This typically will include taking insulin; people who are diagnosed in the early stage of type 2 diabetes, however, may be able to control it with lifestyle changes for a healthier diet and exercise habits. Our Personalabs doctors are board-certified physicians who can help you determine your next steps, and they’re available during convenient telehealth appointments.
