∙ 13y agoType 2 diabetes is diagnosed with the following blood tests:
- Fasting blood glucose level -- diabetes is diagnosed if higher than 126 mg/dL on two occasions.
- Hemoglobin A1c test -- this test has been used in the past to help patients monitor how well they are controlling their blood glucose levels. In 2010, the American Diabetes Association recommended that the test be used as another option for diagnosing diabetes and identifying pre-diabetes. Levels indicate:
- Normal: Less than 5.7%
- Pre-diabetes: Between 5.7% - 6.4%
- Diabetes: 6.5% or higher
- Oral glucose tolerance test -- diabetes is diagnosed if glucose level is higher than 200 mg/dL after 2 hours.
- Random (non-fasting) blood glucose level -- diabetes is suspected if higher than 200 mg/dL and accompanied by the classic symptoms of increased thirst, urination, and fatigue (this test must be confirmed with a fasting blood glucose test).

∙ 11y agoGenerally your physician, or whoever, will run a simple, finger stick test (virtually painless, honestly) in order to find the level of glucose in your bloodstream. Which is where they just prick your finger and get a small blood sample. It'll all be over in 5-10 seconds, if that.
Afterwards, you may or may not be required, to pee in a cup, in order to check for ketones.

What diagnostic tests are used to confirm diabetes?
There are several blood tests that can diagnose diabetes. The most common is a fasting blood glucose test, where the glucose level is measured after at least eight hours of fasting. The blood glucose can be measured without fasting, but it can only diagnose diabetes, not prediabetes. The oral glucose tolerance test monitors how a body responds to an influx of glucose. After fasting for a least 8 hours, blood glucose levels are measured before and every 30-60 minutes after the ingestion of a glucose beverage for three hours. A urine test for high levels of glucose and ketones can help diagnose diabetes, but these results are not enough on their own.

How diabetes diagnosed?
The following tests are used for diagnosis:A fasting plasma glucose (FPG) test measures blood glucose in a person who has not eaten anything for at least 8 hours. This test is used to detect Diabetes and pre-diabetes.An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) measures blood glucose after a person fasts at least 8 hours and 2 hours after the person drinks a glucose-containing beverage. This test can be used to diagnose diabetes and pre-diabetes.A random plasma glucose test, also called a casual plasma glucose test, measures blood glucose without regard to when the person being tested last ate. This test, along with an assessment of symptoms, is used to diagnose diabetes but not pre-diabetes.Test results indicating that a person has diabetes should be confirmed with a second test on a different day.

What is a routine test?
Technically, there is no such thing as a routine lab. Every lab test should only be ordered for a reason. Insurances now do not pay for tests for no reason. Every test should be associated with some diagnose to be covered. For example, if you put in a diagnose of 'Physical Exam,' then you cannot order any test for that. On the other hand, if you put obesity or overweight as a second diagnose (unfortunatly, this is true in the vast majory of people), then you can order cholesterol, Diabetes, thyroid screening tests, ect.
