Every serious disease has a corresponding diagnosis and if it is completely followed might cure a certain disease. However there are diseases that are not curable like diabetes and liver cirrhosis. They can't be cured but you can prevent and treat them.
Apart from physical and family history examinations, physicians will also require a series of laboratory tests to ensure and find out the type of diabetes that patient has. This laboratory test might include:
• Urine test - To find out glucose and ketones, a urine sample will be required by the physician for a test. This is one of the most required laboratory tests for people who are suspected to have diabetes. When the body uses fat instead of glucose for energy, acids will be collected in the blood and urine.
• Blood test - In order to measure the amount of glucose in the bloodstream, blood test is being required. Most physicians use one touch diabetes meter to test the patient's blood sugar level.
• Glucose-tolerance test - it is a test which checks the body's ability and capability to process glucose. During Glucose-tolerance test, sugar levels in the blood and urine are monitored for almost three hours after drinking a large amount of sugar solution.
• Fasting blood sugar - if you are suspected to have diabetes, you really have to go through this kind of test which involves fasting overnight and then blood is being drawn the next morning.
• Glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) test - this type of laboratory test, reveals the total amount of the entire blood sugar levels for the previous two months.
