Question:
i would like to know what test a doctor would perform to confirm
that a patient had suffer from diabetes?
Answer:
They will probably test a urine sample for proteins. Further,
they'd probably order a C-Peptide test which measures the metabolites
of insulin to see how much insulin you are producing. Liver function
tests also if they are contemplating giving you Rezulin. They should
set up an appointment for you with a diabetes educator who will check
your feet (for neuropathy), refer you to a nutritionist to help you with
your diet, and encourage you to have an eye exam to look for early
signs of diabetic retinopathy.
