Which Tests are Included in LupiKavach Diabetic Screen Test?
The LupiKavach Diabetic Screen offers the following tests:
Fasting Blood Sugar: Measures blood sugar levels after an overnight fast (10-12 hours) to assess blood sugar control.
Hemoglobin (Hb)A1c: Measures average blood glucose over 8-12 weeks, crucial for diagnosing and managing diabetes.
Complete Urine Examination: Examines urine's physical and chemical properties to diagnose urinary tract infections, kidney diseases, and metabolic disorders.
Fasting Glucose Urine: Determines the glucose level in the urine at a given moment. Glucose is a type of carbohydrate that is crucial for supplying energy to cells in the body.
Preparation for Test
Fasting samples must be collected after a minimum of 10-12 hours of fasting status. During this time, only water can be consumed. The patient is advised to not drink any beverages in the morning, such as tea, coffee, or milk, until the sample collection is completed.
Please tell your healthcare provider if you are taking any medications before undergoing the test as certain medications may interfere with the accuracy of the test results.
Interpretation of Test Results
Fasting Blood Sugar
High fasting glucose levels could indicate diabetes, a disorder of the pancreas, hyperthyroidism, or stress due to surgery.
HbA1c
Having higher-than-normal HbA1c levels indicates that you have too much sugar in your blood. Long-term elevated sugar levels may lead to diabetes complications such as hypertension, eye disorders, diabetic foot, etc.
Having lower-than-normal HbA1c levels indicates that you have low sugar levels in your blood. It may suggest inflammation or liver function abnormalities.
Complete Urine Examination
Urine usually contains a variety of chemicals and substances. It is generally clear with a light yellow colour. The pH level should be between 4.5 and 8, indicating its acidity or alkalinity.
Urine is typically free of protein, glucose, and ketones. Under a microscope, a normal examination will reveal up to 5 red blood cells, 5 white blood cells, and no bacteria. Any results that deviate from these may indicate a specific health issue.
Fasting Glucose Urine
A fasting urine glucose test is a screening test. If the level of glucose is higher than normal in your urine, it may indicate that your symptoms may be due to diabetes.
Your healthcare provider may request that you undergo a blood test to confirm the diagnosis.
