Blood Test & Diabetes?!
Question: Blood Test & Diabetes!?
I had a full blood count done as part of a series because of reccuring tonsilitis!. Would this have shown up diabetes!? Thanks in advance for answersWww@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
No Ali, Full blood count is CBC test and shows total RBC count, WBC count and differential count of WBC as white blood cells are further divided into different parts such as eosinophils etc!. It may even show your Hemoglobin levels!.
Diabetes test is different and can be done by putting blood drops on a glucostrip!. It can be done to check fasting, PP (post prandial - feeding) and random sugar levels in your blood!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

To find out, ask the doctors office for a copy of the blood work results!. It is yours by law and they must give you a copy if you ask!. Some doctors offices send copies of all tests to the patient as a matter of policy!. Others wait til you demand a copy!. Do be nice when asking and say "please and thank you"!.
Most doctors here in the 21st century think HbA1c is a part and parcel of full blood count and order CBC and Lipids Panel just because they can!. That is good!! Others are not yet in the 21st century and won't order anything!.
Look on the results sheet for the line HbA1c!. this is a percentage of red blood cells with glucose molecules clinging to them!.
The results sheet will also have the "norms" listed on it along with the actual results of the different lines they have run!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Not unless the doctor wrote orders for them to test the glucose levels!. I think most Walgreen's and CVS Pharmacies will do a free diabetes test for you, it's just a simple prick of the finger, takes less that 2 minutes to find out!.
But call the ones in your area before you go tripping that way!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Have your doctor do tests you diabetes!. Full blood tests only cover those aspects specified by your doctor and not everything!. Diabetes tests are simple but are crucial if you suspect that you may suffer from it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Constant tonsil problems can be caused by the water you drink, if it has a high bacteria count!. Drink bottled water or boil the tap water a day ahead of time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you may be concern about diabetes, you should get checked for it!.!. Lots of people all over have diabetes and unless they check for the right thing they will not find out, and by the time they do it could had been years 4-6 since they have started to develop it!.!.
Most diabetes symptoms go undetectable because they start very slow, and easy for most poepl to get use to them and walk around thinking everything its normal!.!. So far in my family we are all diabetes-free, but it almost seems that every 2 out of 10 people we know either have some type of diabetes or just developing it!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
