Endocrinologic Exams
Blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) are blood tests to diagnose diabetes mellitus.
Fasting blood sugar is a blood glucose test after 8 hours fasting. HbA1c reflects average blood
glucose level of the past 2~3 months.
Diabetes is suspected when fasting blood glucose is higher than 126mg/dL or when HbA1c is higher
than 6.5 %. In diabetic patients, blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin are also used as an index to
evaluate the blood glucose control status.
