But often a doctor, patients come in "diabetic" coma, which reveal the presence of diabetes type 1 is very easy for any endocrinologist.

      The most important method for diagnosing diabetes is a laboratory blood sugar test. A study carried out in two stages, fasting and 2 hours after a meal. The results of the diagnosis and determine the type of diabetes. After the doctor also assigns a urine test for sugar and acetone.

      To predict complications of diabetes also conduct research in hemoglobin. But again, all individually for each patient with diabetes. Number of studies and their methods are dependent on the stage of the disease and its type.

      Laboratory analysis on the blood sugar level is of several types: a blood test for sugar on an empty stomach, rapid test glucometer, blood sugar after a glucose load test for glycated hemoglobin.

      Normal blood sugar levels of 3.5 - 5.5 mmol / l. For the diagnosis of diabetes, laboratory testing indicators compared with the standards.
