A diabetes test typically refers to blood tests that measure blood sugar levels. The common ones include fasting blood sugar (FBS), oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). These tests help diagnose diabetes or prediabetes by assessing how the body processes glucose. FBS measures fasting glucose levels, OGTT checks the response to glucose intake, and HbA1c reflects average blood sugar over several months. Timely diabetes testing aids in early detection and management, reducing the risk of complications associated with high blood sugar levels. Professional interpretation of results guides appropriate interventions and lifestyle modifications for individuals at risk or diagnosed with diabetes.
