What is the test for diabetes?

Question

How do you know, how can you find out if you have it? Is it painful, expensive?

Answer 1

It's called a "glucose tolerance test" I had to have 2 when I was preggers.... First you have to give blood on an empty stomach. Then you drink this "sweet" liquid and in a half hour they take some blood and then in another half hour they take more blood. The results will be able to tell you if you are diabetic. I also had to take a 4 hour test that is essentially the same idea except multiplied x4 (3 drinks and MORE blood work) the worst part is having all the blood drawn and not throwing up the "sweet" liquid.... if you do you have to come back another day and re take the test. (Believe me you will want to puke it up unless you have a stomach of iron) As for then cost? Well you would have to contact the lab that was going to do the testing and ask what they charge (if you aren't covered by insurance). I believe they also offer this test a county health facilities...I also believe it would cost ALOT less than a private facility, and maybe free if you have low or no income.

Answer 4

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

There are many different forms of diabetes. It's not painful but can be expensive becuase they do diagonistic testing. That's just a different type of blood test but they are more expensive. Go online and read about diabetes as it will tell you the different signs to watch for if you think you have it. It will also explain the differnt types of diabetes to you. If you have it you need to see an encrongolist which specializes in it.

Answer 6

A proper blood test for diabetes is called AC/PC. You fast for 8-10 hours and have blood drawn. Then you go eat a meal and have another blood test done. It gives you a better reading of normal and abnormal blood glucose levels. It's not painful... shouldn't cost too much.

Answer 8

besides the blood glucose test there is also a longer test called a Glucose Tolerance Test where you fast and then drink a sugar substance and give blood every hour on the hour for a set number of hours. This test is more accurate than the one time finger prick test.

Answer 9

Let me ask you.Do yo go several times ( every l5 minutes or so)?.Are you hungry after eat?.Did you have problems with sight?.Did you feel tired?.If the answer is yes.See you doctor.However,go to Wal-Mart and get a sugar level test ( $9 or less).Check yourself.If the reading reach over l00.you're in trouble. However,have the test with a partial empty stomach.Sugar in your system counts. I'm not a doctor.I know this by fact. Ok. Good Luck.

Blood glucose level. It takes only a simple finger stick. Shouldn't take more than 10 or 20 bucks!
