(LATEST 2024 UPDATE)
What is diabetes? - ANSWER- Diabetes is a chronic (long-lasting) health condition that affects
how your body turns food into energy.
Most of the food you eat is broken down into sugar (also called glucose) and released into your
bloodstream. When your blood sugar goes up, it signals your pancreas to release insulin. Insulin
acts like a key to let the blood sugar into your body's cells for use as energy.
If you have diabetes, your body either doesn't make enough insulin or can't use the insulin it makes
as well as it should. When there isn't enough insulin or cells stop responding to insulin, too much
blood sugar stays in your bloodstream. Over time, that can cause serious health problems, such as
heart disease, vision loss, and kidney disease.
Diabetes tests include - ANSWER- A1C Test
The A1C test measures your average blood sugar level over the past 2 or 3 months. An A1C below
5.7% is normal, between 5.7 and 6.4% indicates you have prediabetes, and 6.5% or higher indicates
you have diabetes.
Fasting Blood Sugar Test
This measures your blood sugar after an overnight fast (not eating). A fasting blood sugar level of
99 mg/dL or lower is normal, 100 to 125 mg/dL indicates you have prediabetes, and 126 mg/dL or
higher indicates you have diabetes.
,Glucose Tolerance Test
This measures your blood sugar before and after you drink a liquid that contains glucose. You'll
fast (not eat) overnight before the test and have your blood drawn to determine your fasting blood
sugar level. Then you'll drink the liquid and have your blood sugar level checked 1 hour, 2 hours,
and possibly 3 hours afterward. At 2 hours, a blood sugar level of 140 mg/dL or lower is considered
normal, 140 to 199 mg/dL indicates you have prediabetes, and 200 mg/dL or higher indicates you
have diabetes.
Random Blood Sugar Test
This measures your blood sugar at the time you're tested. You can take this test at any time and
don't need to fast (not eat) first. A blood sugar level of 200 mg/dL or higher indicates you have
diabetes.
