Are blood and urine tests tested for sugar levels?


Are they? And if so, if it is too low or too high, a doctor will inform you of this correct? On that note , if someone had , well, diabetes, and they didnt know, and had the blood/urine tests taken about four months ago, that test, both fasting and a prior one with food eaten, would it have come out with having it at that time, if they had it, or does it not show up in tests till way after? Hopefully I am being clear as to what I am asking.

If you had high glucose during either fasting or non-fasting tests, your Doctor should have told you. If you heard nothing from them, you can call and ask what is was. Sometimes offices wil not call with slightly elevated levels so the best way to know is to ask for the level and the normal range so you know if it was high or not. If you are concerned that it wasn't high on those days that you tested you can ask to have a blood test called hemoglobin A1C..this test takes an average of the last 120 days.

uhhh..yea

Blood and urine can be tested for many different things, so if you want details ask your doctor what they test for.

No, you're not being too clear. A fasting blood test is the most accurate way to test for diabetes. If your numbers had been of concern, then yes the doc would have said something then. You can have false readings too and even a perfectly healthy person can have a high or low reading every now and again. You may want to get a cheap monitor and track your morning readings for a while.

Blood tests are not done just for sugar. If it is done to check the sugar level it will show high,normal or low. One particular test called the glycohemoglobin A1c test checks the long-term (3 months)control of blood glucose levels.
