Carbohydrate Metabolism and Diabetes at "Genesis Dnipro" Laboratory — Monitoring Blood Sugar Levels and Early Diagnosis of Metabolic Disorders
Tests:
Blood glucose,
Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c),
HOMA index,
C-peptide,
Glucose tolerance test.
Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GADA), IgG antibodies
A comprehensive set of tests for the diagnosis and monitoring of diabetes, insulin resistance, and prediabetes.
When to get tested for diabetes and carbohydrate metabolism
It is recommended to undergo testing if you experience:
- Persistent thirst, dry mouth;
- Fluctuations in body weight, especially unexplained weight loss;
- Increased fatigue, weakness, drowsiness;
- Frequent infections, slow wound healing;
- Family history of diabetes;
- Obesity, hypertension, hormonal disorders.
Monitoring carbohydrate metabolism is also necessary for pregnant women to rule out gestational diabetes.
How the test is conducted
Venous blood is taken on an empty stomach for analysis. In the glucose tolerance test, the patient additionally consumes a glucose solution and is monitored for 2 hours.
Results are ready quickly and include a detailed interpretation with references.
