Diabetes Care Program

SugarNme from RML Pathology is a Diabetes Care Program specially designed for people with diabetes keeping in view the need of different categories of people. Diabetes Mellitus is a silent, progressive disorder that can damage too many vital organs of your body viz. heart, feet, eyes, blood vessels, kidneys, etc., if not controlled and managed well in time. This is one condition that needs continuous monitoring, management, and behavioral changes. Every person with Diabetes Mellitus is unique, having different needs, complications, and restraints and hence requiring personalized care and support. Realizing this, we at LPL, have put together some important tests in consultation with experts in our One Time Packages and some important schedule of tests to be done periodically at Prescribed Intervals with attractive discounts.

Tests for Type 1 Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes, and Prediabetes

Your doctor will have you take one or more of the following blood tests to confirm the diagnosis:

  • A1C Test

    The  AIC Test measures your average blood sugar level over the past 2 or 3 months. An A1C below 5.7% is normal, between 5.7 and 6.4% indicates you have prediabetes, and 6.5% or higher indicates you have diabetes.

  • Fasting Blood Sugar Test

    This measures your blood sugar after an overnight fast (not eating). A fasting blood sugar level of 99 mg/dL or lower is normal, 100 to 125 mg/dL indicates you have prediabetes, and 126 mg/dL or higher indicates you have diabetes.

  • Glucose Tolerance Test

    This measures your blood sugar before and after you drink a liquid that contains glucose. You’ll fast (not eat) overnight before the test and have your blood drawn to determine your fasting blood sugar level. Then you’ll drink the liquid and have your blood sugar level checked 1 hour, 2 hours, and possibly 3 hours afterward. At 2 hours, a blood sugar level of 140 mg/dL or lower is considered normal, 140 to 199 mg/dL indicates you have prediabetes, and 200 mg/dL or higher indicates you have diabetes.

  • Random Blood Sugar Test

    This measures your blood sugar at the time you’re tested. You can take this test at any time and don’t need to fast (not eat) first. A blood sugar level of 200 mg/dL or higher indicates you have diabetes.
