Diabetic Profile Basic FAQ

What is the basic diabetic profile?

A basic diabetic profile consists of essential tests aimed at monitoring and managing diabetes. It typically includes:

• Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) or Random Blood Glucose: These tests measure blood sugar levels to assess glucose control.
• Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c): It provides an average blood glucose level over the past 2-3 months, reflecting long-term diabetes management.
• Lipid Profile: This measures cholesterol and triglyceride levels, which are important indicators of cardiovascular health in individuals with diabetes.
• Kidney Function Tests: These tests include serum creatinine and urine albumin tests to evaluate kidney function, as diabetes can lead to kidney complications.
• Blood Pressure Measurement: Monitoring blood pressure levels is vital for overall diabetes management and reducing the risk of cardiovascular issues.

What is 7 point blood sugar profile?

The 7-point blood sugar profile is a comprehensive assessment that involves measuring blood sugar levels at multiple time points throughout the day. It provides a more detailed understanding of a person's blood glucose control. The profile typically includes measurements at seven specific time points: fasting (before breakfast), pre-meal (before each main meal), post-meal (1-2 hours after each main meal), and bedtime. These measurements help assess how blood sugar levels fluctuate throughout the day and provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of diabetes management strategies, such as medication, diet, and exercise. The 7-point blood sugar profile allows healthcare professionals to make more informed treatment adjustments and recommendations tailored to an individual's specific needs.

What is normal sugar level by age?

Normal blood sugar levels can vary slightly depending on age and individual circumstances. However, here are general guidelines for fasting blood sugar levels:

• For children and adolescents: 70-100 mg/dL (3.9-5.6 mmol/L)
• For adults under 60 years: 70-100 mg/dL (3.9-5.6 mmol/L)
• For adults over 60 years: 70-120 mg/dL (3.9-6.7 mmol/L)
