Diabetic Care

Diabetes is not a disease but a disorder affecting almost 10% of the human population where the body does not produce or use the Insulin.
For understanding Diabetes, we need to know the understand the factors influencing Diabetes. The factors may vary Age, Incorrect dietary habits, Inadequate Physical work, hormonal deficiencies, viral infections, etc. etc. Only detection of Diabetes at young stage can control on its further interference in our lives. Anyone above the age of 45 should consider getting tested for diabetes, specially if they are over-weight.

Keeping the above things in mind, we have come up with a unique profile of Diabetic Health Care which has a crisp component of 61 vital tests, along with Cardiac Risk Markers and Lipid Profile.
Most importantly, SugarScan includes a memory test for diabetic patients known as HbA1c, which is much superior indicator of diabetic status than routine blood sugar and provides the average blood glucose level for the previous three months.

Significance of Tests

Lipid Profile

Though lipids are important for survival, their high values are alarming to the individual indicating the impending doom.High lipid levels damage the blood vessels, leading to blockage of the various blood vessels, which ultimately results in various body dysfunctions including heart failure.People suffering from diabetes and hypertension tend to have higher risk of such failures. So it becomes important not only for the obese persons to undergo these tests but also for everyone, as it is a well known fact that even a lean and thin individual can have abnormal values indicating body dysfunction including cardiac damage.The tests done not only give the values but also indicates the level of risk at which a person is. (Low risk/ average risk / high risk). If they are abnormal, a doctor can then advise appropriate tests or treatments.

Liver Profile

Liver is the largest, most active and complex organ in the body and plays a major role in the metabolism of our body. It is known as body's chemical factory, sometimes converting complex molecules to simpler units and vice versa. It also makes energy by converting the food we eat into proteins, fats and sugars. Our immune system depends on the presence of some proteins called immunoglobulins and various other biomolecules, which are synthesized by liver. Liver Profile measures various molecules in the blood reflecting whether the liver has been functioning normally or not and thereby helping us to measure the liver injury which may be either an inflammation or infection. These can help doctors to understand and assess the disorders of liver, gall bladder or biliary tract.

Iron Defeciency

Deficiency of iron is important to detect, as it can lead to anaemia. Anaemia is nothing, but inadequate supply of oxygen to the cells, which is indicated by haemoglobin level. Iron deficiency is the most common cause of anemia in India. It is important to detect anaemia, as it is easily preventable by adequate diet and treated by medication.

Renal Profile

The kidney is one of the most important organs in the body. It plays an important role in maintaining the fluid and electrolyte balance by retaining the required substances and excreting undesired substances in the form of urine and thus maintaining the pH, for the optimum functioning of the body.It also plays a vital role in regulating blood pressure by reabsorption and excretion of electrolytes and regulates the workload on heart. The kidney also stimulates the production of red blood cells by secretion of the hormone, Erythropoietin. Kidney's health is very vital for a long and healthy life.

Infectious Disease

In a highly populous and crowded nation like India, infectious diseases can play havoc. The problem becomes more serious as many of the persons having these diseases are not aware of them, due to lack of symptoms and signs at an early stages. Till that time patients continue to spread the infection to other family members or people they come in contact with. This profile includes tests Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C, which are now rampant in India. With this profile, the individuals suffering from these infections can be detected early and thus, the spread of infection to the others can be prevented and helping in controlling the infection

Thyroid Profile

The signs and symptoms of Thyroid hormone deficiencies are, swelling in the neck, difficulty in swallowing, intolerance to cold, fatigue, hoarse voice, dry skin, mood swings, depression, forgetfulness and heavy menstrual period. It is to be kept in mind that four out of the five thyroid patients are women. In fact, thyroid testing is required for all those who have lost their strength and stamina without obvious illness or reasons.

Cardiac Risk Markers

Cardiac Risk Markers contains four risk factors, viz. Apolipoprotein A and B, high sensitivity CRP and Lipoprotein (a). These markers have been extensively researched during the recent years and help to determine the risk of developing coronary heart disease among the patients who have a family history of the problem.

+HbA1c

Most importantly, SugarScan includes HbA1c for diabetic patients often referred as the "Glucose Memory test". It is a much superior indicator of diabetic status than routine blood sugar and provides the average blood glucose level for the previous three months. It gives the data of average blood glucose measurement over three months. In normal individuals HbA1c in their blood less than 5% to 6% but people with Diabetes tend to have higher levels, more than 6% . Lower the value of HbA1c, lower is the risk of complications related to diabetes. HBA1c is highly recommended by the American Diabetic Association.

Complete Haemogram

Heamogram means a complete story of blood components interms of various blood cells in their sizes, volumes and counts. It is also called as Complete Blood Count (CBC) which is very common and important laboratory test for all major diseases in their initial diagnosis. In this study depending upon the analyzer used, one can give from 5 to 15 various blood parameters like hemoglobin, red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC) which has lymphocytes, monocytes, basophils, neutrophils and eosinophils. Various metabolic illnesses and infections can be identified when one has a complete hemogram. Infact, in 90% of the patients who get hospitalized undergo this test. Also, hemogram testing is useful in diagnosis and treatment of leukemia, thalassemia, iron-deficiency and vitamin B12 deficiency etc. Hence, hemogram is a very basic and useful test to assess general health of a person.

Complete Urinogram

Urine is called waste product of the body, because it is produced by the kidney by filtering blood and contains most of the unwanted compounds. However, analysis of urine can be very useful in diagnosis and treatment of certain diseases. For example, albumin in urine suggests presence of kidney disease. Blood Cells if present in urine it suggests infection and blood cells in urine indicates injury in the urinary tract. Sugar in the urine is suggestive of diabetes. Every parameter abnormal can give an early warning about an impending disorder or underlying infection. Hence, urine analysis or urinogram is an important test to diagnose various disorders and diseases.
