About diabetes test

Why is the diabetes test done?

The diabetes test can be done for those who are overweight or have the disease or heart problems running in their family. It can also be done to monitor blood glucose levels.

What does the diabetes test measure?

There are two tests under the diabetes tests, glycosylated hemoglobin test and the glucose-fasting blood test. Both of these help in diagnosing diabetes.

  • The glycosylated hemoglobin test measures the levels of glycosylated hemoglobin present in the blood, giving us an estimate of the average blood glucose levels of the last two to three months (8 – 12 weeks).

Hemoglobin is a protein present in the red blood cells. It is responsible for transporting oxygen to our organs and tissues. Hemoglobin has different types. Hemoglobin A is the most common. An increase in the blood sugar levels leads the glucose to bind to Hemoglobin A (this is called glycosylation or glycation). This continues for the RBC’s total lifespan (120 days). Larger amount of glucose in the blood will lead to more binding to Hemoglobin A.

The most common type of glycated hemoglobin is Hemoglobin A1c, which is removed and replaced by non-glycosylated hemoglobin. HbA1c levels in the blood signify our blood glucose levels, which, in turn, help in diagnosing diabetes and in measuring the efficacy of the treatment being given for reducing blood sugar.

  • The glucose-fasting blood test checks whether the body is properly utilizing and storing glucose. High blood sugar levels can indicate diabetes or insulin resistance. Type 1 diabetes is a result of insulin deficiency (low production of insulin). Type 2 diabetes is caused when there is sufficient insulin production but its efficient utilization is absent.
