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.
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.
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.
FBS and HbA1c are the gold standards for identifying diabetes and prediabetes – giving you a chance to reverse or delay progression.
If you have diabetes, regular HbA1c testing shows how well your treatment (diet, exercise, medications) is working over time.
Early detection and tight control reduce the risk of heart attacks, stroke, kidney failure, and diabetic retinopathy – protecting your long‑term health.
We offer a full spectrum of tests for diabetes diagnosis and management – tailored to your needs and your doctor’s recommendations.
Measures glucose after 8–12 hours of fasting. A reading of ≥126 mg/dL (twice) indicates diabetes; 100–125 mg/dL is prediabetes.
Measured 2 hours after a meal. Helps assess how well your body handles glucose after eating – a key marker for diabetes control.
Reflects average blood sugar over 2–3 months. An HbA1c ≥6.5% indicates diabetes; 5.7–6.4% is prediabetes. No fasting required.
Usually performed during pregnancy (24–28 weeks) to screen for gestational diabetes. Also used for prediabetes assessment.
A quick test at any time. A value ≥200 mg/dL with symptoms suggests diabetes, but needs confirmation with FBS or HbA1c.
Basic screening for glucose in urine and ketones – useful for monitoring diabetic ketoacidosis and overall control.
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.
A trained phlebotomist collects a blood sample (and sometimes urine) at our centre or at your home. The process is quick, safe, and gentle.
Samples are processed on fully automated analysers. Results are validated by pathologists before they are released to you and your doctor.
Reports are delivered within 24 hours via WhatsApp or email. We highlight abnormal values and provide reference ranges for easy interpretation.
It is a vital tool for anyone at risk of diabetes, as well as for those already diagnosed.
Regular diabetes screening is recommended from age 35, or earlier if you have risk factors.
BMI ≥ 25 (or ≥ 23 for Asians) increases diabetes risk – screening is strongly advised.
If a parent or sibling has diabetes, your risk is higher – get tested early.
These often coexist with diabetes – testing helps uncover hidden diabetes.
Women who had diabetes during pregnancy need regular testing for type 2 diabetes.
If you have diabetes, regular HbA1c and FBS testing ensures your treatment is effective.
Dr. Abhishek oversees the laboratory services at Amytri, ensuring that all diabetes tests meet the highest accuracy standards. He works closely with endocrinologists and physicians to ensure that your results are correctly interpreted and effectively used in your care.
Diabetes testing can be stressful – having your partner or family member with you provides support and helps you understand the results.
We welcome partners during blood collection. They can sit with you, ask questions, and help remember the doctor’s advice. Shared understanding makes managing diabetes easier.
It is a set of blood tests used to diagnose and monitor diabetes – including fasting blood sugar, post‑meal sugar, HbA1c, and sometimes an oral glucose tolerance test.
Yes, for FBS and OGTT you must fast for 8–12 hours. For HbA1c and PPBS, fasting is not required. We will inform you based on the tests your doctor has ordered.
HbA1c (glycated haemoglobin) gives an average of your blood sugar over the past 2–3 months. It does not require fasting and is a reliable indicator of long‑term glucose control.
Most diabetes test reports are ready within 24 hours. We send them via WhatsApp or email, or you can collect them in person.
Yes! We offer home sample collection for all diabetes tests. A trained phlebotomist will visit you at your convenience.
A prescription is recommended for targeted testing, but you can also walk in for a diabetes screening without a prescription. Our doctor can advise you on the appropriate tests.
