Diabetes screening is your gateway to effective health management as diabetes is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases. To ensure effective and healthy management of this disease, follow-up glucose tests are essential in the early detection and continuous monitoring of blood sugar levels.

Fal Medical Laboratories offers you a comprehensive and sophisticated range of glucose tracking tests designed to meet your health needs. Whether you need to monitor your blood sugar levels on a daily basis or track your cumulative sugar level for a long time, our services provide you with the accuracy and reliability you are looking for.

Our specialized tests help you detect
any changes in sugar levels and continuously monitor your health status thanks to our accurate and detailed reports.

Diabetes screening steps

There are several types of tests to measure blood sugar and understand how the body responds to glucose. Here are the most prominent glucose screening tests:

Fasting Glucose Analysis

  • Checking the blood sugar level after a person has fasted for 8-12 hours.
  • Fasting glucose analysis provides an accurate reading of blood glucose levels without affecting the foods or drinks a person consumed prior to the test.
  • Insulin secretion monitoring where fasting glucose analysis helps assess how well the pancreas is producing insulin during the fasting period.
  • A high fasting blood sugar level indicates diabetes or insulin resistance.

Cumulative Glucose Analysis

  • Long-term assessment of sugar levels over 2-3 months
  • Cumulative glucose analysis gives a comprehensive picture of average sugar levels over a long period, reflecting a person's ability to control their sugar over the long term.
  • It is recommended to measure your cumulative glycemic index at least once a year for all individuals, and it is recommended that diabetics do it frequently.

Oral glucose tolerance analysis

  • measures how the body responds to glucose after ingesting a diabetic solution.
  • Measure blood glucose level two hours before and after taking the solution.
  • Diagnosis of prediabetes or type 2 diabetes.
  • gestational glycemic analysis and diagnosis of gestational diabetes.

Random Sugar Analysis

  • Measuring blood glucose at any time of the day without fasting.
  • Early detection of abnormally high or low blood sugar levels.
  • Emergency glucose measurement for a quick assessment of your sugar level.
  • Helps in screening diabetes at home by means of a glucometer.

Insulin Resistance Analysis

  • Assess the response of cells to insulin and their ability to use sugar.
  • Insulin resistance is an important factor in the detection of type II diabetes.
  • Insulin resistance is usually analyzed through tests such as a fasting blood sugar test, an oral glucose tolerance test, as well as other specialized tests.

Kidney Cholesterol Analysis

  • Cardiovascular risk assessment as diabetics have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease
  • Provide a holistic view of diabetes management, as blood lipid levels affect the control of sugar levels and vice versa.

Analysis of Beneficial Cholesterol

  • Diabetics are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and a good cholesterol analysis helps to accurately assess these risks.

Bad cholesterol analysis

  • Diabetics are prone to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and a LDL cholesterol analysis helps to accurately assess these risks, as LDL cholesterol is a major factor in the accumulation of fat in blood vessels.

Triglyceride Analysis

  • Monitor the impact of diabetes: Diabetes can affect blood lipid levels, leading to high triglyceride levels. Triglyceride analysis helps monitor this effect and effectively control diabetes management.

Diabetes screening steps

  • The patient needs to fast before some blood glucose tests, so it is preferable to fast for 8-12 hours before the test, but this period may vary depending on the type of test and the doctor's directions.
  • Go to the lab on schedule
  • The lab technician collects a sample of a patient's blood by drawing blood from a vein in the arm using a needle, or using a small drop of blood from the patient's finger.
