1. Why Laboratory Testing is Required
Prediabetes and type 2 diabetes develop gradually through progressive insulin resistance and pancreatic beta-cell fatigue. While epidemiological risk factors (such as age, BMI, hypertension, and family history) correlate strongly with diabetes prevalence, an accurate diagnosis requires certified laboratory blood testing:
| Diagnostic Test | Normal | Prediabetes | Diabetes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) | < 5.7% | 5.7% – 6.4% | ≥ 6.5% |
| Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) | < 100 mg/dL | 100 – 125 mg/dL | ≥ 126 mg/dL |
| Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) | < 140 mg/dL | 140 – 199 mg/dL | ≥ 200 mg/dL |
2. When to See a Physician Immediately
If your assessment score indicates Moderate Risk (4–6), High Risk (7–8), or Very High Risk (9–10), we advise you to print your physician consultation summary and schedule an appointment with your primary care provider.
Furthermore, seek immediate medical attention if you experience common acute symptoms of severe hyperglycemia:
- Unusual, unquenchable thirst (polydipsia) paired with frequent nighttime urination (polyuria)
- Sudden, unintended weight loss despite eating normally or having increased hunger
- Chronic extreme fatigue, blurred vision, or slow-healing cuts or bruises
- Numbness, burning, or tingling in the hands or feet (peripheral neuropathy)
