A member asked:

Good day. my mum was told by our go that she has high blood pressure and possible diabetes. would a blood test be recommended?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

For diabetes: Fasting plasma glucose level is need to make a diagnosis of diabetes. High blood pressure only requires routine measurement of blood pressure. Your primary care provider can address these issues. Wish you and your mum good health!
