Question 2

Can I avail at-home sample collection for Diabetes Screening on weekends?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide sample collections on all days of the week. The timings can vary based on the test, and tests that require 8 to 10 hours of fasting may have morning slots.

Question 3

Is fasting required for Diabetes Screening?

Accepted Answer

You can’t eat or drink anything except water for 8 to 12 hours before your visit, during which a vial of blood will be collected for analysis. This test analyzes the quantity of glucose in your blood, and food can cause your results to be skewed. It’s better to schedule your test early in the morning and miss breakfast (only once!) to avoid going too long without eating.

Question 4

What samples are collected for Diabetes Screening?

Accepted Answer

Fasting Blood Sugar Test:
A blood sample will be collected after an overnight(8 hours ) fasting in this test. Fasting blood sugar levels of less than 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L) are considered normal. Prediabetes is defined as fasting blood sugar levels ranging from 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L). You have diabetes if your blood sugar level is 126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L) or greater on two separate tests.
HbA1c:
This blood test can detect your average glucose level for up to 2-3months. It measures the rate at which glucose is linked to hemoglobin, the protein that transports oxygen in red blood cells. The more glucose there is in the blood, the more hemoglobin with sugar connected to it.
You will receive your test results within 48 hours of sample collection. You can download your reports on the MFine web and app platforms.
