Four ways to check blood sugar, explained by the CDC
Lombard patients often come in with diabetes questions, and there is more than one test. The CDC describes these:
Common diabetes tests and the diabetes range, from the CDC
Test
How it works
Diabetes range
A1C
Shows average blood sugar over the past 2 to 3 months
6.5% or above
Fasting blood sugar
Measured after an overnight fast
126 mg/dL or above
Glucose tolerance test
Blood sugar checked before and after a sweet drink, usually at 1 and 2 hours
200 mg/dL or above at 2 hours
Random blood sugar
Taken at any time, no fasting
200 mg/dL or above
The CDC also notes that if a health fair or pharmacy check showed a high number, you should follow up with a provider, who may retest. Our clinicians order the test that fits your situation, and we tell you ahead of time if it needs a fast. Learn more on diabetes testing.
Thyroid and blood count checks for Lombard, IL adults

About 17% of Lombard, IL residents are 65 or older. Two other tests come up often for adults of every age:
TSH: MedlinePlus says this is usually the first thyroid test ordered. High levels often point to an underactive thyroid, low levels to an overactive one. See thyroid panel testing.
Complete blood count: measures red cells, white cells and platelets. Abnormal red cell or hemoglobin levels may relate to anemia, low iron or dehydration, according to MedlinePlus.
Basic metabolic panel: adds blood sugar, body salts and kidney markers, and may need about 8 hours of fasting.
Keep taking your medicines unless a clinician tells you otherwise, and bring a list that includes vitamins and supplements.

Which blood sugar test will I get if I'm worried about diabetes?
It depends on your symptoms and history. A clinician may order an A1C, which shows your average over two to three months, or a glucose test. The CDC notes that providers often confirm a diagnosis with a second test. We will tell you before your visit if the test you need requires fasting.
My pharmacy blood sugar reading was high. Should I get rechecked?
Yes. The CDC advises following up with a provider after a high reading at a health fair or pharmacy, since a provider may retest to confirm it. Our clinicians can review your symptoms and history, order an A1C or glucose test, and explain the results. Bring the number you were given.
