How To Test For Type 1 Diabetes?
To test for Type 1 Diabetes, doctors typically conduct a glycated hemoglobin (A1C) test, which measures your average blood sugar level over the past 2 to 3 months. If the A1C test is not available, or if there are any inconsistencies, additional tests such as a random blood sugar test or a fasting blood sugar test might be performed to confirm the diagnosis.
