How Is Diabetes Diagnosed?

Diabetes is diagnosed through a combination of blood tests. The most common ones include the fasting blood sugar test, the A1C test, which measures average blood glucose over the past two to three months, and the oral glucose tolerance test. A healthcare provider will evaluate the results alongside symptoms and risk factors to confirm a diagnosis.
