Will a blood test show diabetes?
Asked by: CuriousPatient123
Yes, a blood test can show diabetes. The most common blood tests used to diagnose diabetes include:
A1C Test: Measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. Results are given as a percentage:
Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) Test: Measures blood sugar after an overnight fast.
Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT): Measures blood sugar before and after drinking a glucose-rich drink.
If you suspect you have diabetes, consult a healthcare professional for proper testing and diagnosis.
