Diabetes and Blood Pressure Test
Diabetes and Blood Pressure Test
Diabetes and high blood pressure are two of the most common health issues today, often occurring together and leading to serious complications if left unchecked. T-lab’s Diabetes and Blood Pressure Test provides a thorough assessment of blood sugar levels and heart health, helping detect early signs of these conditions for effective management and prevention.
Duration: 1 Day

Profile Includes:
Diabetes Screening:
- Fasting Blood Sugar (Glucose), Serum: Measures blood sugar levels after fasting to screen for diabetes or prediabetes.
- Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c): Provides an average of your blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months, helping in the diagnosis and monitoring of diabetes.
Kidney Function Related to Diabetes:
- Microalbumin, Urine: Detects small amounts of protein in the urine, which can be an early sign of kidney damage caused by diabetes.

Blood Pressure Evaluation:
- Lipid Profile (Cholesterol and Triglycerides): High levels of cholesterol and triglycerides are risk factors for high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease.
- Cholesterol, Total, Serum
- Triglycerides, Serum
- High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Cholesterol, Serum (Good cholesterol)
- Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Cholesterol, Serum (Bad cholesterol)
