Your doctor may suspect that you may have Diabetes because of risk factors as it runs in your immediate family, or if you have high levels of blood sugar in your urine. Diabetes may be diagnosed with one of three tests:
● A fasting glucose test
● An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)
● The A1c test
● A zinc transporter 8 autoantibody (ZnT8Ab) test
In most cases, your doctor will repeat a test that is high in order to confirm the diagnosis and to determine what type of diabetes.
