Who should get a diabetes test?

Adults between the ages of 40 and 70 who are overweight or obese should be tested for diabetes every three years, according to the US Preventive Services Task Force. The American Diabetes Association advises yearly diabetes screening for people 45 and older, as well as adults under 45 who have substantial diabetes risk factors. Some of the many risk factors for diabetes include high blood pressure, a family history of diabetes, and being overweight or obese.

How do they test for diabetes in Washington?

A simple blood test can be used to detect diabetes. To diagnose diabetes, many Washington clinicians utilize the A1C test or a private fasting plasma glucose (FPG) test. The A1C test determines your blood sugar level over the past two or three months, while the FPG test determines your blood sugar level after an overnight fast. The A1C test results are accessible in minutes, whereas the FPG test results are normally available in a few hours.

What is the blood test for diabetes?

The most often used diabetes tests are the A1C blood test and the fasting plasma glucose (FPG) test. The HbA1C test, hemoglobin A1C test, and glycated hemoglobin test are all variations of the A1C test. This test permits you to eat and drink before the test, but the FPG test requires you to fast for at least eight hours before to the test and only drink sips of water until the test is finished.
