What Are Home Diabetes Screening Tests

June 28, 2011 - PRLog -- Home Diabetes Glucose screening tests are effective, quality tests for the early detection of abnormal blood sugar (glucose) levels that can be a sign of diabetes or other medical problems.  The best home tests are fasting blood glucose test that requires an 8 hour fasting period prior to testing. The most convenient time to test is in the morning, before breakfast which makes it even easier as they can be done in the privacy and comfort of home. Results are obtained by matching the test to an easy to read colour chart clearly indicating a ‘low’, ‘normal’ or ‘high’ result.

They use the same technology that diabetic patients use to monitor glucose levels and include a built-in quality check to ensure accuracy before testing.
If the test shows a result in the ‘high’ range, medical advice should be sought for further testing

Untreated, Diabetes causes serious harm to the body. If an abnormal result is confirmed and treated by your doctor, this can prevent or delay the onset of serious side effects.

When diagnosed and treated early by your doctor, the harmful side effects of Diabetes can be prevented or delayed through simple lifestyle changes. They include regular exercise and diet changes such as choosing foods high in fibre, low in fat and GI. These changes in combination with oral medication can help to reduce glucose levels.
