Type 2 Diabetes Lab Values. This test guide discusses the use of laboratory tests table 1 for diagnosing diabetes mellitus and monitoring glycemic control in individuals with diabetes diagnosis tools for diagnosing diabetes mellitus include fasting plasma glucose fpg measurement oral glucose tolerance tests ogtt and standardized hemoglobin a1c hba1c assays table 2. The test measures blood glucose levels after an overnight fast no food intake for at least eight hours. Use of hba1c for screening is controversial. Men with fpg values of 4 83 5 05 mmol l 87 91 mg dl have a significantly increased risk of type 2 diabetes compared with men with fpg values 4 5 mmol l 81 mg dl.
This is an estimate so it may differ a little bit from your hba1c determined in the lab but will at least give you an idea of how your monster is doing right now. Diabetes especially type 2 diabetes are unfortunately comrades and are often seen together. Men with fpg values of 4 83 5 05 mmol l 87 91 mg dl have a significantly increased risk of type 2 diabetes compared with men with fpg values 4 5 mmol l 81 mg dl. This blood test indicates your average blood sugar level for the past two to three months. The test measures blood glucose levels after an overnight fast no food intake for at least eight hours. 5 7 to 6 4 is diagnosed as prediabetes.
Sometimes a blood sample may be drawn and glucose measured when a person has not been fasting for example as part of a comprehensive metabolic panel cmp.
A result of 200 mg dl 11 1 mmol l or higher indicates diabetes. Type 2 diabetes mellitus consists of an array of dysfunctions characterized by hyperglycemia and resulting from the combination of resistance to insulin action inadequate insulin secretion and excessive or inappropriate glucagon secretion. This blood test indicates your average blood sugar level for the past two to three months. This is an estimate so it may differ a little bit from your hba1c determined in the lab but will at least give you an idea of how your monster is doing right now. Results are interpreted as follows. Thus mean plasma glucose levels of 170 205 240 and 275 mg dl approximately correlate with hba1c values of 7 8 9 and 10 respectively.
