Understanding Diabetes Screening and Lipid Profile in Mumbai
What is Diabetes Screening and Lipid Profile in Mumbai?
The Diabetes Screening and Lipid Profile is a comprehensive assessment of your blood sugar and blood lipid levels. Available at an affordable price in Mumbai price with Tata 1mg labs, this package comprises a set of 10 blood tests that help detect and manage risk factors for diabetes and heart disease.
Diabetes and dyslipidemia (abnormal lipid levels) often coexist. High blood glucose can lead to lipid abnormalities and vice versa. The Diabetes Screening and Lipid Profile package checks for both conditions simultaneously, enabling doctors to identify and address both these health issues early on to prevent future health concerns. Regular monitoring is crucial for the early detection of any abnormalities and to ensure effective management of diabetes and related lipid disorders. The test results help doctors to make necessary adjustments to your diet, lifestyle, and medications. Overnight fasting of 8 to 12 hours is required for this test. However, drinking water is acceptable.
What does Diabetes Screening and Lipid Profile measure?
Contains 10 testsThe Diabetes Screening and Lipid Profile includes two tests: diabetes screening [glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) test and glucose-fasting blood test] and lipid profile [total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides].
The package comprehensively assesses your metabolic health and cardiovascular risk factors. It helps detect and manage conditions like diabetes, prediabetes, and dyslipidemia (abnormal lipid levels) at an early stage. Additionally, it offers insights into the risk of developing heart disease and provides valuable information for lifestyle adjustments, medical interventions, and preventive measures to improve overall health.
Diabetes Screening (HbA1C & Fasting Sugar)
The Diabetes Screening (HbA1C & Fasting Sugar) test includes a glycosylated hemoglobin test and a glucose-fasting blood test. The glycosylated hemoglobin test measures the percentage of glycosylated hemoglobin in the blood, while a glucose-fasting blood test measures the glucose level during fasting. Glucose is the main form of sugar utilized by the body to release energy; it is absorbed by the intestine and distributed to all organs through blood. These tests help your doctor to monitor your blood sugar levels and manage your diabetes well.

Lipid Profile
The Lipid Profile assesses the level of specific fat molecules called lipids in the blood and helps determine the risk of heart ailments. This test determines the amount of different types of lipids, including total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides. Lipids play a pivotal role in the functioning of the body. They are crucial components of the cell membranes and hormones, provide cushioning, and are a storehouse of energy. Any alterations in the lipid levels may lead to potential heart ailments, making their monitoring crucial.
