Patient's question:
How to check for diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, for diabetic patients, when clinical diagnosis raises suspicion of diabetes, they should first measure blood glucose levels, including fasting blood glucose and postprandial blood glucose. If conditions permit, a glucose tolerance test should be conducted to clarify the type of diabetes. Additionally, they should try their best to check glycosylated hemoglobin, glycosylated serum protein, or glycosylated albumin, as these are long-term indicators reflecting blood glucose levels. Furthermore, in the early stages of diabetes, other tests should be improved, such as liver function, kidney function, and urine routine tests.
