How Is Diabetes Tested?

Diabetes is commonly tested using several methods, including the fasting plasma glucose (FPG) test, the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and the A1C test. These tests measure blood sugar levels and provide insight into how well your body is managing glucose. Your healthcare provider will determine the most appropriate test based on your symptoms and risk factors.
