Diabetes Profile

A comprehensive set of blood tests to diagnose, monitor, and manage diabetes – from fasting and post‑meal sugar to HbA1c and glucose tolerance.

Overview

Know your sugar, take control.

The diabetes profile is a specialised set of blood tests that assesses your blood glucose levels and helps diagnose diabetes, prediabetes, or gestational diabetes. It includes fasting blood sugar (FBS), post‑prandial blood sugar (PPBS), HbA1c (glycated haemoglobin), and sometimes an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). These tests are essential for early detection, effective management, and reducing the risk of complications.

Diabetes is a silent epidemic – millions live with it undiagnosed. Early diagnosis through a simple blood test can prevent serious complications like heart disease, kidney failure, nerve damage, and vision loss. Regular monitoring is equally important for those already diagnosed, helping to fine‑tune treatment and lifestyle.

At Amytri, our diabetes profile is performed using fully automated analysers with strict quality controls. Results are interpreted by experienced pathologists and shared with your doctor. We also offer home sample collection for your convenience.

What the diabetes profile typically includes

  • Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) – after 8–12 hours of fasting
  • Post‑Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS) – 2 hours after a meal
  • HbA1c (Glycated Haemoglobin) – reflects average blood sugar over 2–3 months
  • Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) – for pregnancy (gestational diabetes) or prediabetes
  • Random Blood Sugar (RBS) – quick check at any time
  • Insulin levels (if indicated) – to assess insulin resistance
  • Urine sugar and ketones – for basic screening and monitoring
  • Lipid profile and kidney function – often recommended along with diabetes screening
Why it matters

Essential for diabetes detection & control.

Diabetes is a global health challenge. Accurate testing empowers you and your doctor to take action – whether it’s lifestyle change, medication, or close monitoring.

Detection

Diagnose diabetes and prediabetes

FBS and HbA1c are the gold standards for identifying diabetes and prediabetes – giving you a chance to reverse or delay progression.

Monitoring

Track glycemic control

If you have diabetes, regular HbA1c testing shows how well your treatment (diet, exercise, medications) is working over time.

Prevention

Prevent complications

Early detection and tight control reduce the risk of heart attacks, stroke, kidney failure, and diabetic retinopathy – protecting your long‑term health.

What we offer

Comprehensive diabetes testing panels.

We offer a full spectrum of tests for diabetes diagnosis and management – tailored to your needs and your doctor’s recommendations.

Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS)

Measures glucose after 8–12 hours of fasting. A reading of ≥126 mg/dL (twice) indicates diabetes; 100–125 mg/dL is prediabetes.

Post‑Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS)

Measured 2 hours after a meal. Helps assess how well your body handles glucose after eating – a key marker for diabetes control.

HbA1c (Glycated Haemoglobin)

Reflects average blood sugar over 2–3 months. An HbA1c ≥6.5% indicates diabetes; 5.7–6.4% is prediabetes. No fasting required.

Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT)

Usually performed during pregnancy (24–28 weeks) to screen for gestational diabetes. Also used for prediabetes assessment.

Random Blood Sugar (RBS)

A quick test at any time. A value ≥200 mg/dL with symptoms suggests diabetes, but needs confirmation with FBS or HbA1c.

Urine Sugar & Ketones

Basic screening for glucose in urine and ketones – useful for monitoring diabetic ketoacidosis and overall control.

How it works

Your diabetes testing journey, step by step.

01
Prepare

Preparation

For FBS and OGTT, fast for 8–12 hours (only water). For PPBS, you need to eat a normal meal and come exactly 2 hours after. For HbA1c, no preparation needed.

02
Sample collection

Blood draw

A trained phlebotomist collects a blood sample (and sometimes urine) at our centre or at your home. The process is quick, safe, and gentle.

03
Analysis

Laboratory processing

Samples are processed on fully automated analysers. Results are validated by pathologists before they are released to you and your doctor.

04
Report

Get your results

Reports are delivered within 24 hours via WhatsApp or email. We highlight abnormal values and provide reference ranges for easy interpretation.

Is it for you?

Diabetes profile is recommended if any of these apply.

It is a vital tool for anyone at risk of diabetes, as well as for those already diagnosed.

Age ≥ 35 years

Regular diabetes screening is recommended from age 35, or earlier if you have risk factors.

Overweight or obese

BMI ≥ 25 (or ≥ 23 for Asians) increases diabetes risk – screening is strongly advised.

Family history of diabetes

If a parent or sibling has diabetes, your risk is higher – get tested early.

High blood pressure or high cholesterol

These often coexist with diabetes – testing helps uncover hidden diabetes.

History of gestational diabetes

Women who had diabetes during pregnancy need regular testing for type 2 diabetes.

Existing diabetes – for monitoring

If you have diabetes, regular HbA1c and FBS testing ensures your treatment is effective.
