Essential Diabetes Blood Panel

This essential diabetes blood panel includes 2 blood tests to help monitor blood sugar levels in individuals. Both tests are used to effectively diagnose and manage diabetes and help physicians evaluate short and long-term treatment programs.

The Essential Diabetes Blood Panel includes:

• Glucose

• Hemoglobin A1C (HgbA1c)

Glucose—This test measures the amount of glucose found in the blood. It is generally used as a preliminary tool to screen for diabetes and hypoglycemia.

Hemoglobin A1C (HgbA1c)—This blood test evaluates glucose levels in the blood over a 2-3 month period of time. This is often used as a way to diagnose diabetes or to monitor the progression of the disease in individuals previously diagnosed with the condition.
