Diag's Diabetes Panel is to detect and monitor diabetes. This endocrine disorder is characterized by persistently high blood sugar levels, leading to serious complications affecting the heart and nervous system.

Diabetes has three main types: Type 1 diabetes (mainly in children), Type 2 diabetes (mainly in adults), and gestational diabetes (in pregnant women).

Diabetes test measures fasting glucose, HbA1c, and insulin levels, supporting diabetes diagnosis. It also helps monitor treatment efficiency and better disease management.

Symptoms: excessive thirst, frequent urination, weight loss, blurred vision, etc.
People over 45 years old
Individuals with a family history of diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure
Overweight or obese individuals with sedentary lifestyles
Individuals with high blood pressure
Individuals with high cholesterol levels
Individuals with a history of heart disease due to atherosclerosis
Women with a history of gestational diabetes

Glucose Fasting

High blood glucose can be a sign of diabetes - a chronic disease with many dangerous complications. Conversely, hypoglycemia can lead to seizures, brain damage,...

HbA1c

Measures the average amount of sugar attached to the hemoglobin molecule in the blood over the last 3 months to screen for diabetes and monitor the effectiveness of treatment in diabetic patients.

HOMA-IR

HOMA-IR is a model used to assess the function of pancreatic beta cells and early diagnosis of insulin resistance conditions. Insulin resistance can lead to chronic diseases with serious complications such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome, microvascular diseases, peripheral vascular diseases, increasing the risk of stroke, kidney failure, and cognitive decline.

Estimated Average Glucose (eAG)

The Estimated Average Glucose (eAG) test provides an average level of blood glucose over the past 2 to 3 months. It converts hemoglobin A1c levels into a more understandable average blood sugar level that's expressed in the same units (mg/dL) used by daily blood glucose tests. This test gives a broader picture of glucose control over time, offering insight into how well overall glucose levels are being managed. It's particularly useful for individuals managing diabetes, as it helps gauge the effectiveness of diet, exercise, and medication plans in controlling blood sugar. Essentially, eAG offers a longer-term glimpse into blood sugar trends, complementing daily glucose monitoring.

Insulin

Insulin is a hormone that helps move blood sugar (glucose) from your bloodstream into cells. It plays a crucial role in maintaining glucose levels.

Microalbumin

Microalbumin is a test to find microalbuminuria (albumin excreted in urine in very small amounts) that cannot be detected by conventional urine tests. Microalbuminuria helps early diagnosis of kidney diseases.

Creatinine [Urine]

Creatinine is a waste product your muscles produce as part of everyday activities. Normally, your kidneys filter creatinine from your blood and send it out of the body in your urine. If there is a kidney problem, creatinine can build up in the blood, and less will be released in urine.

Microalbumin/Creatinine Ratio

Albumin is an important protein found in the blood. In normal people, the kidneys will filter substances in the blood, only a small amount of albumin (or none) will pass through the filters. Therefore, the presence of albumin in the urine (also called microalbumin) is an early sign of kidney damage. This test helps detect microalbumin in urine
