Diabetes Screening and Lipid Profile
Understanding Diabetes Screening and Lipid Profile
What is Diabetes Screening and Lipid Profile?
This package comprises Lipid Profile & Diabetes Screening tests. The lipid profile measures the amount and type of fat in the blood, and Diabetes screening helps diagnose and monitor diabetes.
The lipid profile test measures total cholesterol, LDL(low-density lipoprotein), HDL(high-density lipoprotein) and triglycerides in the body. It is frequently recommended in people who are overweight, have diabetes, lead a sedentary lifestyle, or are undergoing treatment for high cholesterol and heart disease.
Diabetes screening comprises a Fasting blood glucose test, which measures the amount of circulating blood sugar, and a Glycosylated Hemoglobin test which measures the average blood sugar levels over the past few months. These aid in managing the disease in diabetic patients and are highly recommended.
