do i have type 2 diabetes

To determine if you have type 2 diabetes, you should consult a healthcare professional who may recommend the following tests:

• A1C Test: Measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. Results are interpreted as follows:
  • Normal: Below 5.7%
  • Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%
  • Diabetes: 6.5% or above
• Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) Test: Measures blood sugar after an overnight fast. Results are interpreted as follows:
  • Normal: Less than 100 mg/dL
  • Prediabetes: 100 to 125 mg/dL
  • Diabetes: 126 mg/dL or higher
• Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT): Measures blood sugar before and after drinking a glucose-rich drink.

If you experience symptoms like frequent urination, excessive thirst, unexplained weight loss, or fatigue, it’s important to get tested. Only a healthcare provider can confirm a diagnosis.
