Description

The Diabetes Profile includes key measurements to assess and monitor diabetes and its potential complications. It examines blood glucose and HbA1c levels, offering insights into short-term and long-term blood sugar control, essential for diagnosing diabetes, prediabetes, and evaluating diabetes management over time.

Kidney function is evaluated through urea and creatinine tests, crucial for detecting potential kidney complications, as diabetes can significantly affect kidney health if not carefully managed.

Lipid levels are another focus of this profile, assessing cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL (good cholesterol), LDL-C (bad cholesterol), and the cholesterol risk factor. These markers provide a comprehensive view of cardiovascular health, which is critical since diabetes substantially increases the risk of heart disease. Monitoring these levels helps mitigate risks of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular conditions.

Overall, the Diabetes Profile offers a thorough evaluation of diabetes-related health factors, supporting healthcare providers in making informed decisions about treatment, lifestyle adjustments, and preventive strategies. Regular monitoring of these indicators is essential for effective diabetes management and reducing the risk of complications.
