A member asked:
Can l request an antibody test for diabetes? i have hyperglycaemia ,very strong symptoms ie: thirst & frequent urination. have graves d. fit & healthy
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Different test: An antibody test is not the way to make a diagnosis of diabetes. It can be done by testing blood levels of glucose in fasting state, or if needed by a glucose tolerance test. An alternative test is for A1c. It would be prudent to consult your doctor for the diagnosis and if have diabetes for the management of the disease. Wish you good health!
