The “Diabetes Control” package is a set of laboratory tests designed to monitor blood glucose levels and assess the overall health status of patients with diabetes mellitus. Monitoring glucose levels is a key factor in managing diabetes and preventing complications.
This comprehensive set of tests typically includes the following investigations:
- Determination of fasting blood glucose level;
- Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) analysis;
- Lipid profile testing (cholesterol, triglycerides, etc.);
- Kidney function tests (creatinine, urea, etc.).
- Regular monitoring of these parameters helps the physician evaluate the effectiveness of therapy, adjust medication doses and diet, and detect potential diabetes-related complications in time.
Role of the package
The “Diabetes Control” test package plays an essential role in the diagnosis and monitoring of diabetes mellitus. It helps assess blood glucose levels and identify potential complications associated with the disease.
Indications
The “Diabetes Control” package is recommended in the following cases:
- Diagnosis of diabetes mellitus: The test package helps detect elevated blood glucose levels — the main indicator of diabetes.
- Monitoring of patients with an established diagnosis of diabetes: Regular testing allows for the assessment of therapy effectiveness and prevention of possible complications.
- Pregnancy: During pregnancy, the risk of developing gestational diabetes increases; therefore, this package is recommended for early detection and timely management of this condition.
- Presence of risk factors for diabetes development: Individuals with excess weight, hypertension, or a family history of diabetes are advised to undergo testing for early disease detection.
Preparation for testing
- Observing dietary recommendations: Tests may be performed either on an empty stomach or after eating.
- Avoiding physical exertion: Intense physical activity should be avoided the day before testing.
- Excluding alcohol and smoking: It is recommended to refrain from alcohol consumption and smoking on the day prior to testing.
- Maintaining proper hydration: It is important to stay well-hydrated to facilitate the blood collection process.
- Informing your doctor about medications: Notify your doctor about any medications you are taking, as some may affect test results.
Blood collection procedure
Blood for the “Diabetes Control” tests is usually drawn from a vein in the bend of the elbow. The procedure takes only a few minutes and is performed by a medical professional. A small amount of bleeding or a hematoma may occur after venipuncture, which typically resolves on its own over time.
