Other blood and urine Diabetes tests

Blood lipid (fats) levels are elevated in diabetes. Since increased blood levels of these lipids play a role in the degeneration of arteries, a common complication of diabetes, an estimation of these lipids is carried out in diabetics from time to time.

A complete lipid profile (and not just scrum chelesterol) should be done at least on a yearly basis. A 12 hour fast (water is allowed) is necessary before estimation of serum triglycerides.

Urea and creatinine, the waste products of protein metabolism, are excreted mainly by the kidneys. These waste products accumulate in the blood when kidney function is unsatisfactory. Blood levels of these substances reflect kidney function, which may be impaired in long standing diabetes.

An estimation of hemoglobin is an essential part of any medical check-up. Anaemia or reduced hemoglobin is a common cause of ill health. A total and differential count of white blood cells is essential when infection is suspected.

Microalbuminuria means amount of albumin in urine which is more than normal but less than can be detected by ordinary clinical test (30-300 mg in 24 hours). It is a marker of kidney and heart disease. It is associated with high blood pressure, abnormal lipids and blood vessels and may occur even before the stage of frank diabetes.

The reports of various tests should be filed systematically for a ready reference. Wading through a jumble of husband's and wife's reports, bills of chemists and prescriptions is exasperating.
