Diabetes test
The Chughtai Lab in Lahore, Pakistan, has made some exciting discoveries regarding diabetes testing that will help people get ahead of the disease and make decisions to prevent it from progressing further. Here are the top six tests they recommend all people with diabetes get.
1) A1C
An A1C test measures how much glucose is attached to hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells. It’s considered one of the most important tests for diabetes management because it’s an indirect measurement of your average blood sugar levels over two to three months.
You can use it as a marker to check your overall control. The higher your A1C level, the greater your risk for heart diseases and other complications from high blood sugar, like nerve damage or eye problems.
2) Fasting plasma glucose
Monitoring your blood glucose levels gives you an indication of how healthy your body is. While there are several methods for doing so, fasting plasma glucose is a common and easy-to-measure test that only requires a pinprick.
Do it regularly to ensure optimal health in your daily life and if something looks off, speak to a medical professional right away. As shown in studies performed at Chughtai Lab Lahore, simple health checks can sometimes predict and avoid potentially life-threatening problems down the road.
3) Hemoglobin A1c
The most frequently recommended lab test for diabetes, A1c, measures average blood sugar levels over 3 months. A high level could mean you have prediabetes or Type 2 diabetes. Normal is below 5.7%, and optimal is between 4 and 5%.
4) HbA1c in combination with fasting plasma glucose
This is one of the most commonly use tests for diagnosing and monitoring type 2 diabetes and prediabetes. But also useful in differentiating between various types of hemolytic anemia. More than half a million people in Pakistan are estimate to be at risk for diabetes, according to Lahore Chughtai lab.
Among those patients test for HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose levels. About 30-40% were found to have undiagnose type 2 diabetes. Simple lab test rates run around 200 per test; Dr. Essa’s laboratory charges 300 and more per test. Laboratories will do either without a doctor’s prescription or authorization from insurers at both ends of the spectrum.
5) A1C in combination with insulin use
We can determine whether you’re likely to be at risk for any complications. Such as diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage) and retinopathy (eye disease). It’s ideal for getting an A1C test every quarter if you use insulin and twice a year if you don’t. Essa Lab Report will walk you through every step of obtaining your A1C result and discuss it.
6) Complete blood count in combination with hemoglobin A1C
Chughtai Lab test rates for Diabetes in Karachi, Pakistan, are a combination of complete blood count and hemoglobin A1c. Chughtai lab is available in every city in Pakistan.
In Lahore, the Chughtai Lab test rate will be more expensive because it is an urban city. Where people charge more for everything. But if you can get it done in Karachi or other cities, then do so because rates are cheaper there than in Lahore.
