What diagnostic tests are used to confirm diabetes?

There are several blood tests that can diagnose diabetes. The most common is a fasting blood glucose test, where the glucose level is measured after at least eight hours of fasting. The blood glucose can be measured without fasting, but it can only diagnose diabetes, not prediabetes. The oral glucose tolerance test monitors how a body responds to an influx of glucose. After fasting for a least 8 hours, blood glucose levels are measured before and every 30-60 minutes after the ingestion of a glucose beverage for three hours. A urine test for high levels of glucose and ketones can help diagnose diabetes, but these results are not enough on their own.

What is a normal level of glucose in a fasting blood sugar test used to diagnose insulin resistance?

A normal fasting glucose level is typically under 100 mg/dL. Levels between 100-125 mg/dL indicate prediabetes, while levels higher than 126 mg/dL may suggest diabetes. Insulin resistance can be assessed by measuring fasting insulin levels or with a glucose tolerance test.


What are some Insulin Resistance Symptoms?
