Blood tests are done for many reasons: diabetic people should check their blood glucose daily, especially if they take insulin. Another kind of blood test helps physicians manage Diabetes because it tells us how your blood sugar has been doing over the past 3-4 months. Other blood tests are used to check kidney function, which can be affected with diabetes, especially when the diabetes has been long standing. Typically, a urine test will be done every so often to check for small proteins in the urine, which can be the earliest signs of kidney damage in diabetes. All of these tests are done to monitor your diabetes and help catch changes early that might be able to be prevented.
