How Do You Check For Diabetes?

To check for diabetes, a doctor typically conducts blood tests such as the fasting blood sugar test, the HbA1c test, or the oral glucose tolerance test. These tests measure your blood sugar levels to determine if they are within the normal range or if they indicate diabetes or prediabetes. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
