Diabetes Diagnostic & Laboratory Services
Accurate testing is the foundation of effective diabetes management. At SND Multispeciality Hospital, our state-of-the-art laboratory provides precise and rapid results to help you and your doctor make informed health decisions.
Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS)
The FBS test measures your blood glucose after an overnight fast (usually 8–10 hours). It is the primary tool for diagnosing pre-diabetes and diabetes.
-
Why it matters: It provides a baseline of how your body manages sugar without the influence of recent meals.
-
Our approach: Quick sampling and accurate reporting to ensure your baseline health is monitored correctly.
Post Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS)
This test is conducted exactly two hours after a meal to see how your body responds to carbohydrates and sugar.
-
Why it matters: It helps in evaluating the effectiveness of your mealtime insulin or medication and identifies “spikes” that a fasting test might miss.
-
Our approach: Guided timing to ensure the most clinical value from your results.
Random Blood Sugar (RBS)
An RBS test can be taken at any time of the day, regardless of when you last ate.
-
Why it matters: It is essential for quick check-ups or in emergency situations where a patient is showing symptoms of high or low blood sugar.
-
Our approach: Walk-in testing with instant results for your peace of mind.
HbA1c Testing (Hemoglobin A1c)
The HbA1c test provides a “big picture” view by measuring your average blood sugar levels over the past 2 to 3 months.
-
Why it matters: Unlike daily finger-prick tests, HbA1c isn’t affected by short-term changes, making it the gold standard for tracking long-term diabetes control.
-
Our approach: High-precision testing to help adjust your long-term treatment plan.
Urine Sugar & Ketone Testing
Checking for sugar and ketones in the urine is vital, especially for Type 1 diabetics or those with very high blood sugar.
-
Why it matters: The presence of ketones is a warning sign of Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA), a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention.
-
Our approach: Comprehensive urinalysis to detect complications before they become emergencies.
