Diabetes Profile Details
On-site Diabetes Blood Test by appointment or clinic walk-in. Our blood test detects 3 (three) biomarkers for a comprehensive diabetes profile. A diabetes profile shows blood sugar level.
Itis a condition caused by excess blood sugar levels. There are three types of diabetes: type 1, type 2, and gestational.
Symptoms include skin infections, blurred vision, frequent urination, lightheadedness, nausea, and constant hunger.
Someone may still be at risk of diabetes even if symptoms do not appear due to various factors. Diabetics need to portion their food and monitor their own carbohydrate intake and source.
This exam detects 3 (three) biomarkers for a Diabetes profile:
- HbA1c (Glycated Haemoglobin): Measures blood sugar level in a three-month range.
- Microalbumin: Shows kidney damage.
- Glucose: Measures blood sugar level.

Diabetes Scientific Data from Suppliers (Instrument and Reagent)
Method:
Fully automatic biochemical analysis.
Detection limits:
- Glucose: 0.55 mmol/L
- Microalbumin: 0 mg/L
- HbA1c: 3.3%
Accuracy and precision:
- Glucose: The approximate error is < ± 10%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 0.9%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 2.2%.
- Microalbumin: The approximate error is < ± 10%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 5%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 5%.
- HbA1c: The approximate error is < ± 20%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 15%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 15%.
Measuring ranges:
- Glucose: 0.55~22.24 mmol/L
- Microalbumin: 0~180 mg/L
- HbA1c: 3.3~4.5%
Validation-active information:
- EQA: Yes
- Inter-laboratory validations
- Periodic according to the validation schedule.
- Event-triggered (QC, calibration, new materials or batch).
Accuracy and precision:
- The accuracy is contingent upon the approximate error percentage. This percentage represents the degree of deviation from the actual outcome.
- The precision is contingent upon the coefficient of variations within the assay and the coefficient of variations between the assays.
- The variance of the result value if the same sample were re-analyzed is known as the within-assay coefficient of variations.
- The between assay coefficient is the variance of the result value if the same sample were reprocessed from the outset.
In range results:
- Glucose: 3.89~6.11 mmol/L
- Microalbumin: 0~30 mg/L
- HbA1c: 4.6~6.2%
