Diabetes Checkup Testing
This profile measures the amount
of glucose (sugar) in your blood. Glucose is an important source of energy,
especially for the brain. The amount of glucose in your blood is carefully
controlled by the endocrine (glandular) system. Dependent upon insulin regulation,
the endocrine system causes glucose to be stored or used for energy as the
needs of your body change.
In addition, the hemoglobin A1c
("A-one-C") test is a blood test used in the care of people who have diabetes.
The hemoglobin A1c percentage is a way of looking at your average blood sugar
control over the last 2 or 3 months.
Finally, this profile incudes a
complete renal panel to assess kidney function, which is critical in evaluating
overall health of diabetics.
A significant deviation from the normal range may require further evaluation
by your physician
