Where do I get tested for diabetes?

You can get tested for diabetes at the following locations:

• Primary Care Physician (PCP): Your regular doctor can order blood tests, including the A1C test, fasting blood sugar test, or oral glucose tolerance test.
• Local Clinics or Health Centers: Many community health centers offer diabetes screening services.
• Pharmacies: Some pharmacies provide blood sugar testing services, though they may not offer comprehensive diagnostic tests.
• Laboratories: You can visit a lab for blood tests ordered by your healthcare provider.
• Hospitals: Hospitals often have outpatient services for diabetes testing.

It's important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine which test is appropriate for you and to interpret the results accurately.
