Questions about this test
Should I take my diabetes medicine before a fasting test?
Ask your doctor, as some medicines can cause low sugar if you fast. Do not change your medicines on your own.
Why is urine albumin checked in diabetes?
Albumin in the urine can be an early sign of kidney damage from diabetes. Finding it early allows treatment to protect the kidneys.
What is HbA1c?
