Diabetes Panel
Low-Cost Diabetes Screening Panel with A1C and Fasting Glucose
The Diabetes Panel is a blood test panel that checks two common blood sugar markers: Hemoglobin A1C and Fasting Glucose.
This panel may help screen for blood sugar patterns related to diabetes, prediabetes, and glucose control.
A1C gives an estimate of average blood sugar over the past 2 to 3 months, while fasting glucose measures your blood sugar level at the time of testing after fasting.
✔ Includes Hemoglobin A1C
✔ Includes Fasting Glucose
✔ Common diabetes and prediabetes screening markers
✔ Low-cost lab testing option
✔ Doctor's order included
✔ No insurance required
✔ Convenient online ordering
⏱ Typical turnaround: results are usually emailed in 1–3 days.
What This Diabetes Panel Includes
This panel includes two commonly ordered blood sugar tests:
- Hemoglobin A1C: Measures average blood sugar over the past 2 to 3 months
- Fasting Glucose: Measures blood sugar at the time of testing after fasting
Together, these tests may provide a better picture than checking a single blood sugar marker alone.
Why Order a Diabetes Panel?
This diabetes panel may be useful for people who want a low-cost way to check common blood sugar markers.
This test may be considered for:
- Diabetes screening
- Prediabetes screening
- Blood sugar monitoring
- Follow-up to abnormal glucose results
- Family history of diabetes
- Weight, cholesterol, blood pressure, or metabolic health concerns
- Customers who want low-cost direct access to lab testing without using insurance
Low-Cost Diabetes Screening Option
This panel is a cost-effective option because it includes both A1C and fasting glucose in one order.
Ordering these two common diabetes screening tests together may be more useful than checking only one marker.
This is a convenient option for customers who want basic blood sugar screening without insurance billing.
What Is Hemoglobin A1C?
Hemoglobin A1C, also called A1C or HbA1c, gives an estimate of average blood sugar over the past 2 to 3 months.
A1C is commonly used for diabetes and prediabetes screening and for monitoring blood sugar control in people already diagnosed with diabetes.
A1C does not usually require fasting by itself.
What Is Fasting Glucose?
Fasting glucose measures the amount of glucose, or sugar, in your blood after fasting.
Fasting glucose provides a snapshot of your blood sugar level at the time of testing.
Because this panel includes fasting glucose, fasting is usually required unless your provider or lab instructions state otherwise.
Who May Consider This Test?
- People who want diabetes or prediabetes screening
- People with a family history of diabetes
- People with weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, or metabolic health concerns
- People with symptoms that may be related to high blood sugar
- People following up on prior abnormal glucose or A1C results
- People who need affordable lab testing without insurance
- Individuals whose healthcare provider requested A1C and fasting glucose testing
Common Reasons for Testing
- Increased thirst
- Frequent urination
- Fatigue
- Blurred vision
- Unexplained weight changes
- Slow-healing sores
- Numbness or tingling in hands or feet
- Routine blood sugar screening
- Monitoring known diabetes or prediabetes with a healthcare provider
Important Fasting Instructions
Because this panel includes fasting glucose, you may need to fast for approximately 8 hours before testing.
Fasting usually means no food or drink except water. Drink water before your blood draw to help prevent dehydration and make collection easier.
If you have diabetes, take diabetes medication, are pregnant, or have a medical condition where fasting may be unsafe, ask your healthcare provider for instructions before fasting.
Important: This Test Does Not Replace Medical Care
This diabetes panel can provide useful screening information, but it does not replace medical evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment.
If your results are abnormal, your healthcare provider may recommend repeat testing, additional labs, lifestyle changes, medication, or ongoing monitoring.
Important Health Warning
If you have severe weakness, confusion, fainting, vomiting, severe dehydration, fruity-smelling breath, difficulty breathing, very high blood sugar, very low blood sugar, chest pain, or any urgent medical concern, seek medical care immediately.
Do not use this test as a substitute for urgent medical evaluation or diabetes treatment.
Screening and Lab Access Only
LabReqs and SchoolTiters provide access to lab testing. We do not diagnose diabetes, prescribe medication, adjust insulin, manage blood sugar, or provide diabetes treatment.
Results should be reviewed with a licensed healthcare provider, especially if symptoms are present, results are abnormal, or diabetes medication changes are being considered.
Important Limitations
- This panel includes A1C and fasting glucose only.
- This panel does not include insulin, C-peptide, diabetes antibodies, kidney function, cholesterol, or urine microalbumin unless ordered separately.
- A1C may be affected by anemia, kidney disease, liver disease, blood disorders, pregnancy, recent blood loss, or transfusion.
- Fasting glucose may be affected by fasting time, illness, stress, medications, and recent food intake.
- Abnormal results may require repeat testing or additional evaluation.
- Do not start, stop, or change diabetes medication based only on this result.
Before Ordering
- Order this test if you need A1C and fasting glucose testing.
- Fast as instructed for the fasting glucose portion of the panel.
- If fasting is unsafe for you, ask your healthcare provider before testing.
- Tell your provider about diabetes medication, insulin use, pregnancy, anemia, kidney disease, liver disease, or blood disorders.
- If you need a broader metabolic evaluation, ask whether a CMP, lipid panel, insulin, C-peptide, or urine microalbumin should also be ordered.
- If your result is abnormal, review it with a licensed healthcare provider.
