Diabetes Management Test
Managing diabetes is about more than checking your blood sugar, it requires a comprehensive understanding of how your body is responding to treatment over time. The ICare Diabetes Management Test is designed to help individuals living with diabetes monitor their condition, evaluate treatment effectiveness, and reduce the risk of long-term complications.
This comprehensive laboratory panel measures key biomarkers that provide valuable insight into blood sugar control, kidney health, and overall metabolic function. Whether you've recently been diagnosed, are adjusting medications, or have been managing diabetes for years, regular testing is an essential part of maintaining your health.
With ICare's concierge mobile laboratory services, diabetes monitoring is convenient, accurate, and brought directly to your home, office, or preferred location.
What Does This Test Measure?
The Diabetes Management Test combines several important laboratory tests that evaluate diabetes control and overall health.
Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)
The Hemoglobin A1c test measures your average blood sugar over the previous 2–3 months, making it one of the most important tools for monitoring diabetes.
Your HbA1c level helps determine:
Overall diabetes control
Whether your treatment plan is effective
Your risk for diabetes-related complications
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)
The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel evaluates:
Blood glucose
Kidney function
Liver function
Electrolyte balance
Protein levels
These markers provide important information about your overall health and help monitor how diabetes may be affecting your body's major organ systems.
Urine Microalbumin (When Included)
Measures small amounts of protein (albumin) in the urine.
Microalbumin testing helps detect early kidney damage, one of the most common complications of diabetes, often before symptoms develop.
Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)
Calculated using kidney function markers, eGFR helps evaluate how well your kidneys are filtering waste from your blood.
Routine monitoring can help identify early changes in kidney function.
Additional Diabetes Monitoring Markers
Depending on your healthcare provider's recommendations, your panel may also include additional laboratory tests to provide a more comprehensive evaluation of your diabetes management and overall health.
