Blood sugar screening
A diabetes test is any medical test used to measure blood sugar levels or diagnose diabetes.
Common types include fasting glucose tests, A1C tests (measuring average blood sugar over months), and glucose tolerance tests.
My doctor ordered a diabetes test after I complained of constant thirst.
Also called blood sugar test or glucose test.
