3 Diabetes Tests You Must Have
Even before you notice symptoms, high blood sugar can damage parts of your body.
That's hy certain diabetes tests to chec! blood sugar control and to catch problems
early are so crucial.
"ut many patients aren't getting !ey diabetes tests at least annually, such as
the hemoglobin #$c test, a dilated eye e%am, and a foot e%am.
&f you loo! at the nationide data, it's sobering,& says Enrico (agliero, MD, a diabetes
researcher and assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical )chool. lot of
diabetic patients are missing essential chec!s.&
&*eople ith diabetes should !no that complications aren't inevitable,& (agliero says.&+nfortunately, e still see a lot of complications, and a lot of those could have been
prevented. t's absolutely essential to get into this preventive mode as soon as possible.
t definitely pays don the road.&
Don't miss these diabetes tests.
Diabetes Test $- Hemoglobin #$c
This diabetes bloodtest, also called Hb#$c, tells you and your doctor ho ell diabetes
is managed over time. t measures your average blood sugar in the previous threemonths to see if it has stayed ithin a target range.
Here's ho this test or!s. Your red blood cells contain hemoglobin, hich allos cells
to transport o%ygen to tissues. #s a cell ages, the hemoglobin becomes increasingly
&glycated,& meaning that more glucose molecules stic! to it. Higher glucose levels in the
blood mean higher glycated hemoglobin, hich translates into a greater Hb#$c reading.
• ormal Hb#$c is /0 or less.
• #n Hb#$c value above 10 means diabetes is poorly controlled. *eople ith
diabetes should aim for an Hb#$c value belo 10.
You don't need to fast or prepare for an Hb#$c test. #s! your doctor ho often you need
to be tested. Doctors usually recommend every 3 to 2 months.
eeping blood sugar under control has been proven to reduce ris! of complications. n

studied ho careful blood sugar control affected the rate of complications from type $
diabetes. #mong $,88$ sub9ects, those ho received intensive treatment to achieve
tight blood sugar control had an average Hb#$c of about 10, hile those on standard
therapy averaged about :0. The group ith tight control had much loer ris! of
complications-

• /40 reduced ris! of !idney disease
• 240 reduced ris! of nerve disease
Diabetes Test ;- Dilated Eye E%am
f you have diabetes, your ophthalmologist or optometrist should perform a dilated eye
e%am, in hich the pupils are idened ith drops, to chec! for signs of diabetic
retinopathy.

#ll people ith type $ or type ; diabetes should have a dilated eye e%am at least once a
year as part of a complete eye e%am. Early retinopathy may cause no noticeable
symptoms, so regular eye e%amsare crucial for detecting emerging problems.
lot of patients tell me, ' see fine. oot E%am
Diabetes can cause nerve damage and numbness, as ell as decreased circulation that
ma!es it harder for your body to fight infection. *atients ith numbness problems may
not notice if they in9ure a foot. # resulting infection may not heal ell, and s!in and other
tissue may die. n a small minority of cases, the problem progresses into a complication

Diabetes is one of the most common reasons people seek relief for painful feet.
With diabetes, four types of foot problems may arise in the feet.
Nerve Problems due to Diabetes
The most common contributor to diabetic foot pain is a nerve problem called
Peripheral europathy. This is !here the nerves are directly affected by the disease
process. There are basically three types of peripheral neuropathy" sensory, motor,
and autonomic neuropathy.
# lar$e percenta$e of pain diabetic patients complain of is due to sensory
neuropathy. This can sho! up as %sensitive pain,% !here the amount of pain is not
proportional to the amount of insult that is causin$ it. &or instance, 'ust touchin$
the skin or puttin$ a sheet over your feet in bed could be painful. This can be
present at the same time as numbness in the feet. (ensory neuropathy symptomscan include burnin$, tin$lin$ or a stabbin$ pain.
Relief is foremost on someone)s mind !hen painful neuropathy has raised its u$ly
head. The first thin$ to do is to check your blood su$ar for the past several !eeks
to see if there has been a trend to!ard hi$h blood su$ar *+ditor)s ote" The #c
test is traditionally employed to determine this, and should be repeated about every
three months.- Persistent hi$h blood su$ar can contribute to this type of pain.
Massa$in$ your feet !ith a diabetic foot cream, or usin$ a foot roller, often takes
the ed$e off the pain. itamin B preparations are often recommended/ and there area variety of prescription medications that do !ork. 0sin$ cushioned, supportive
shoes and foot support inserts is al!ays needed to protect the feet from the
poundin$, rubbin$ and irritatin$ pressures that contribute to neuropathic pain.
Motor neuropathy can contribute to another painful diabetic condition. The nerves
to the muscles become affected by the disease process. This makes the muscles feel
!eak and achy. (ome of the first muscles to become affected are those in the thi$h/
other common muscles include the shin muscle and the small muscles of the feet.
When motor neuropathy is present, !alkin$ imbalances can result. These can cause
increased rubbin$ of the foot in the shoe, inflammation of the skin, increased
callous formation, and pain.
1elpin$ yourself a$ainst the rava$es of motor neuropathy involves correctin$ those
!alkin$ imbalances !ith supportive shoes and foot support inserts. &oot e2ercises,
massa$e and usin$ foot rollin$ devices are e2cellent !ays to help keep those
muscles and 'oints from becomin$ stiff.

Keep the muscles !orkin$ and the 'oints movin$3
#utonomic neuropathy affects the nerves to areas that are not under our conscious
control. The s!eatin$ mechanism is altered 44 so the person !ho suffers !ith this
condition may have thickened, dry cuticles and nails/ as !ell as dry, stiff, cracked
skin 44 !hich is sub'ect to a buildup of thicker calluses !ith more pain. Bacterial
and fun$al infection could be more likely/ an additional source of pain and
concern.
Daily use of toenail oil and conditionin$ foot cream made specifically for diabetic
foot care can play an essential role in preventin$ these problems.
Circulation Problems
5irculation problems in the feet may cause intense pain, even thou$h the feet mayfeel numb to the touch. This is due to the effect of hi$h blood su$ars on the
arteries, capillaries and veins. #rteries feed fresh blood a!ay from the heart. This
fresh blood nourishes and provides o2y$en to the tissues. The blood enters and
leaves the tissues throu$h capillaries and $oes back up to the heart to $et refreshed
!ith o2y$en and nourishment by !ay of the veins.
The arteries most commonly affected are those behind the knee and the calf. These
arteries are sub'ect to the same fatty deposits that most people have, ho!ever, the
process can be accelerated in diabetes. These fatty deposits thicken the !alls of the
arteries, and may develop calcium deposits. Blood flo! to the feet could then be partially or totally blocked. Because the tissues are starvin$ for o2y$en, this can be
an e2tremely painful process. (uch pain is often described as thou$h the feet are in
a vise, and are bein$ stran$led.
The capillaries are kno!n to $et thickened and stiff from diabetes 44 thus not as
efficient in deliverin$ o2y$en and nutrients to and from the tissues.
The veins can $et s!ollen and painful. This happens !hen the arteries cannot
handle the blood flo!, and little channels are created to direct the blood over to the
veins instead of tryin$ to push the blood throu$h closed arteries. (ometimes thereis more blood than the veins can handle. They become so full that the valves
become broken. Blood then pools in the feet and le$s and can leak out into the
skin, creatin$ ulcerations, !hich can be very painful.

With the approval of your medical doctor, support hose, e2ercise, massa$e,
physical therapy, medications and various sur$ical procedures can be used to
improve the circulation.
Muscle & Joint Problems
Muscle and 'oint problems in the diabetic patient are a fre6uent source of
discomfort and pain. The muscles are affected by diabetic neuropathy, circulation
problems and atrophy. The tendons *attachment of the muscle to the bones- may
become stiff and contracted due to the !alkin$ imbalance associated !ith
peripheral neuropathy.
This !alkin$ imbalance forces the foot and 'oints to move in !ays that are not
healthy and that Mother ature never intended. 7n addition, they may stiffen in this
bent position because of the e2cess blood su$ar combinin$ !ith the proteins in the 'oints. This is called diabetic $lycosylation of the 'oints.
This, combined !ith the normal imbalance all people, includin$ non4diabetics, are
sub'ect to, can lead to stiff hammertoes, bunions, spurs, and tiny fractures !ith
dislocation of the bones *called Diabetic 5harcot Deformity-. These problems can
be sources of pain, infection, ulceration and ma'or medical concern.
With consent from your foot healthcare provider, foot rollers, massa$e and
specially made shoes and inserts mi$ht be the best !ay to deal !ith these muscle
and 'oint problems.
Frequent Inections
Diabetic persons become more susceptible to bacterial, fun$al and yeast infections
due to medical and nutritional chan$es that takes place in the body.
Bacterial infections sho! up in areas on the foot that become irritated, ulcerated or
in'ured. The si$ns of a bacterial infection include redness, s!ellin$, !armth, pain
and tenderness as !ell as the presence of pus. *+ditor)s ote" Blind diabetics can
detect foot infections by touch, and, in some cases, by smell.- This kind of infection can either be on the skin, called cellulitis, or can spread to the bone.
When infection has spread to the bone it is called osteomyelitis. 7t is interestin$
that even thou$h a diabetic may have numbness in their foot, they could sometimes
feel pain !hen they have a bacterial infection. When a diabetic suddenly develops
pain !hile their feet are numb, it could be a si$n that an infection is present 44 and
a health care provider should be contacted !ithout delay.

&un$al or yeast infections in the foot commonly occur as athlete)s feet or fun$al
toenails. #thlete)s feet can cause the skin to become blistered, scaly, red, inflamed
and painful. # bacterial infection can occur on top of this because the irritated skin
serves as a $ood place for $erms to thrive. &un$al toenails can become very thick,
po!dery and in$ro!n. These thick nails can leave debris under the nails and cause
severe irritation to the skin surroundin$ the nails. They can even become in$ro!n
!ith callused nail $rooves. This can cause infection to the areas surroundin$ the
nail and is a source for medical concern.
7n order to ma2imi8e a person)s ability to fi$ht off infections, think stren$then the
immune system. This comes from $ood blood su$ar control, moderate e2ercise,
$ood nutrition and supplements, if recommended by your health care professional.
&un$us can make the skin ra! and fun$us toenails can become thick, irritatin$,
painful and infected !ith bacteria. (elf4inspection and daily maintenance of the
skin and nails is essential to prevention. 9nce your toenails or skin on the feet become infected !ith fun$us, it is important to treat it ri$ht a!ay to prevent
ulceration and bacterial infection. Medications prescribed by your foot healthcare
professional are recommended, but various over4the4counter and home remedies
have found success. The use of tea tree oil, sesame oil, $arlic, $rapefruit seed
e2tract, and $alberry root soaks are amon$ them.
7t is important to note that not all diabetics can detect the pain of these problems 44
and therefore should have their feet visually and manually inspected every day. Be
Prudent, Be 5autious and &ollo! the Rules of :ood 1ealth3

This test measures blood glucose levels at any time of day, no matter hen you had
your last meal. t is most often used in people ho have classic diabetes symptomssuch as e%cessive thirst, fre?uent urination, and une%plained eight loss. The
criteria for a diagnosis of diabetes ith this test is the presence of diabetes symptoms
and a blood glucose level of 200 mg/dL or higher.
Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) testhe fasting plasma glucose test is the preferred method for diagnosing diabetes in
children, men, and nonpregnant omen. The test measures blood glucose levels
after an overnight fast 6no food inta!e for at least eight hours7. # diagnosis ofdiabetes is made hen the fasting blood glucose level is 126 mg/dL or higher on at
least to tests. Galues of $44$;/ mgdB indicate prediabetes. # normal fasting
blood glucose level is less than $44 mgdB.
Aral glucose tolerance test
This test is done hen diabetes is suspected, but you have normal results on a
fasting plasma glucose test. >or the test, you'll have to fast overnight and then drink
a very seet solution containing 1/ g of glucose. # sample of your blood ill be
dran to hours later. ormal glucose levels are less than $84 mgdB at to hours.
The criterion for a diagnosis of diabetes ith this test is a to-hour blood glucose
level of 200 mg/dL or higher. *rediabetes is diagnosed if the to5hour blood glucose
