Regular testing for sugar levels does not give an idea about how the other systems are affected due to diabetes mellitus. Diabetes profile, maxi is therefore recommended for these patients to check the other blood parameters as well. This is by:
- The total cholesterol and triglyceride levels measured help us understand the status of blood vessels and the risk of atherosclerosis (blood vessel wall thickening)
- The routine urine, electrolytes, creatinine and microalbumin/creatinine ratio helps us understand how well the kidneys are functioning.
- The Fasting blood sugar(FBS), PPBS (post meal sugar) levels and the HbA1c helps to measure the glucose component in the blood and how well the diabetes is controlled.
- To understand how well the insulin producing cells are working.
Diabetes profile test is recommended to be done periodically as per the doctor’s advise to understand the disease progression.
It is a comprehensive diabetes profile test measuring 4 parameters: glucose fasting ( fasting sugar levels), HbA1c ( average blood sugar over 3 months), and total cholesterol levels in blood, and the ratio of microalbumin/creatinine levels in the urine.
CBC, FBS, PPBS, Cholesterol, Triglycerides, Creatinine, Electrolytes, Urine Routine, Insulin Antibody, Microalbumin/creatinine ratio, Insulin, C-Peptide, and HbA1C are the 13 markers that make up this comprehensive test profile.
Diabetes profile test requires a blood sample. A tourniquet (elastic) band is placed tightly on the upper arm. The patient is then asked to make a fist. This helps in the build-up of blood filling the veins. The skin is disinfected before needle insertion and the blood sample is collected in vacutainer. Urine sample is collected to measure microalbumin/creatinine levels.
HbA1C levels of > 6.5% are classified as diabetics. In known diabetics following values can be considered as a tool for monitoring the glycaemic control.
Excellent Control – 6 to 7 %,
Fair to Good Control – 7 to 8 %,
Unsatisfactory Control – 8 to 10 %
and Poor Control – More than 10 %
Patients with poorly controlled diabetes are considered at risk for affecting the other systems.
High FBS mean the diabetes needs to be controlled either with certain lifestyle modifications or by adjusting the dosage of antidiabetics.
High Cholesterol levels (≥240 mg/dL) may lead to thickening or clogging of the blood vessels impairing the blood supply. This may increase the risk of heart diseases and stroke.
High microalbumin/creatinine ratio (>30) in urine indicate problems in the functioning of the kidneys. Based on the levels it is classified as microalbuminuria (30-300) and clinical albuminuria (>300)
People with diabetes are defined as those with HbA1C levels > 6.5%. Your HbA1c values are used to gauge how well your diabetes is under control.
Elevated FBS and PPBS indicate that diabetes must be managed through dietary changes or by modifying the number of antidiabetics.
Low insulin levels could be a sign of poorly managed diabetes. In cases of long-term diabetes, it is crucial. In instances of insulin sensitivity or other illnesses, high levels may occur.
Insulin resistance is evaluated via insulin antibody testing. A positive result necessitates more testing.
Increased creatinine levels may indicate renal impairment, which can happen in long-term diabetes. Low levels could be a sign of diminished muscle mass.
A significant microalbumin/creatinine ratio (>30) in the urine indicates that the kidneys are not functioning properly.
