Diabetes Type I Screening Test

Diabetes Type I, also known as Type 1 Diabetes, is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin, a hormone needed to regulate blood sugar levels. Since the body is unable to produce enough insulin, sugar accumulates in the bloodstream, leading to high blood sugar levels. This can cause a variety of health problems including heart disease, nerve damage, and kidney disease.


  • Test Name Diabetes Type I Screening (Glucose - Fasting & Postprandial; HbA1c)
  • Sample Type Blood
  • Preparations Required Fast for 8-12 hours before the blood test. For the postprandial test, the blood sample will be taken 2 hours after eating.
  • Report Time 4 hours

There are several tests that are crucial for the diagnosis and management of Type 1 Diabetes, including Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG), Postprandial Blood Glucose (PPBG), and Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). FBG measures blood sugar levels after an overnight fast, PPBG measures blood sugar levels two hours after eating, and HbA1c provides an average of blood sugar levels over the past three months.
