- Fasting Blood Sugar Test: 126 mg/dL or higher.
- Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT): 200 mg/dL or higher after 2 hours.
- Random Blood Sugar Test: 200 mg/dL or higher with symptoms of diabetes.
These tests are used to diagnose diabetes. If you suspect you have diabetes, consult a healthcare professional for proper testing and diagnosis.
