Why We Do Them:
The Diabetes Panel is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes and its associated complications. FBS and PPBS measure blood sugar levels before and after meals, helping assess how well the body manages glucose. HbA1C provides an average blood sugar level over the past three months, giving a long-term view of glucose control. The lipid profile checks cholesterol levels, as diabetes often increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Kidney and liver function tests are essential for monitoring potential complications like diabetic nephropathy and fatty liver. Urine microalbumin detects early signs of kidney damage, and electrolyte levels ensure proper metabolic balance, which can be disrupted in diabetes.
