Type 1 Diabetes Diagnosis & Tests
The following tests can be used to diagnose diabetes:
- urinalysis shows glucose and ketone bodies in the urine, but a blood test is required for diagnosis
- fasting blood glucose is 126 mg/dL or higher
- random (nonfasting) blood glucose exceeds 200 mg/dL (this must be confimed with a fasting test)
- insulin test (low or undetectable level of insulin)
- C-peptide test (low or undetectable level of the protein C-peptide, a by-product of insulin production)
