Diabetes Prevention: The Role of Regular Testing

India is the world's diabetes capital with over 77 million diagnosed cases and millions more unaware of their condition. The key to fighting this epidemic lies in early detection through regular testing.

Pre-Diabetes: The Golden Window

Pre-diabetes is a reversible condition where blood sugar is higher than normal but not yet diabetic. An estimated 136 million Indians are pre-diabetic — most don't know it.

Key pre-diabetes indicators:

• Fasting sugar: 100-125 mg/dL
• HbA1c: 5.7-6.4%
• Post-meal sugar: 140-199 mg/dL

At this stage, lifestyle changes alone can prevent progression to diabetes.

Essential Diabetes Tests

• Fasting Blood Sugar: Snapshot of current glucose level
• HbA1c: 3-month average blood sugar
• Post-Prandial Sugar: Blood sugar 2 hours after eating
• Fasting Insulin: Measures insulin resistance
