Blood and urine tests for diagnosis and monitoring of diabetes.
The diagnosis of diabetes is made on the evidence of raised blood glucose levels. In diabetic patients, regular monitoring of blood and urine guides decisions about treatment and helps to minimise the risk of complications. This article describes various diagnostic tests that can be used both in the laboratory and outside.
