Diabetes is identified by testing the blood sugar. This is achieved by measuring the concentration of the glucose by different analytical tests: mainly FPG (Fasting Plasma Glucose) and OGTT (Oral Glucose Tolerance test) or by measuring a specific fraction of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) from patient whole blood sampling.
Diabetes
Diabetes is a chronic disease characterised and identified by the presence of hyperglycemia. It occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body is unable to use the insulin it produces effectively.
What is diabetes
Diabetes is classified under 2 main types:
- Type 1 diabetes (previously known as insulin-dependent diabetes or juvenile diabetes) is characterized by insufficient insulin production.
- Type 2 diabetes (formerly known as non-insulin-dependent or adult diabetes) results from the body’s inadequate use of insulin. It is often the result of excess weight and physical inactivity.
But also Gestational diabetes (GDM) is the high blood sugar that is detected during pregnancy. Individuals with diabetes have an increased risk of developing a number of serious health problems. Consistently high blood glucose levels can lead to irreversible complications affecting the heart and blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, nerves and teeth.
Diabetes is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease, blindness, kidney failure, and lower limb amputation.
