What is the Diabetes Suraksha Package?
Diabetes testing covers tests for diagnosing diabetes and monitoring organs most vulnerable to diabetic complications, such as the kidneys and heart. Diabetes is a silent killer that goes overlooked by the majority of people. If not detected and treated early, it can lead to serious life-threatening consequences. Periodic testing, on the other hand, can effectively go a long way in preventing and controlling it.
What is the Purpose of the Diabetes Suraksha Package?
The Diabetes Suraksha Package is advised for the following analysis:
- Screening: Diabetes Suraksha Package can be used to detect possible diabetes-related health problems prior to the onset of symptoms. A doctor will typically advise such extensive testing as a preventive measure during routine checkups. It might bring to light concealed issues that, if left untreated, could become problematic.
- Diagnosis: To find the cause of symptoms like exhaustion, frequent urination, or unexplained weight loss, this package can be recommended. By offering a thorough analysis of blood sugar levels, organ function, and other vital health markers, it assists in confirming or ruling out diabetes and related disorders.
- Monitoring: A patient's previously diagnosed diabetes and the efficacy of their treatment are tracked over time with the Diabetes Suraksha Package. Through proactive measures and early intervention, patients can take control of their condition, manage their blood sugar levels, and avoid complications with regular testing.
- Assessing the effect of medical conditions and treatments: Additionally, this package tracks how a patient's general health is affected by other medical conditions or treatments. For example, it examines the effects of diabetes on organ function and measures the health effects of diabetes management techniques.

Tests Included in Diabetic Suraksha Package
12 tests are included in this Package, which are:
- Complete Blood Count( CBC/Haemogram)
- Erythrocytes Sedimentation Rate (ESR)
- Glucose (Fasting)
- Microalbumin (Spot Urine)
- Urea
- Creatinine

Significance of Each Test in Diabetic Suraksha Package
- Complete Blood Count (CBC/Haemogram): It is a blood test that measures the concentration, volume, and size of all-blood components, including red blood cells, hemoglobin, white blood cells, and platelets.
- Erythrocytes Sedimentation Rate/Sed Rate: Your red blood cells may be sinking more quickly than usual during an ESR test, which could indicate that you have an inflammatory medical condition. Your test result's speed indicates the degree of inflammation you have. The faster the ESR rate, the more severe the inflammation. However, an ESR test alone is unable to identify the underlying cause of the inflammation.
- Glucose (Fasting): This test is used to analyze your diabetes status (non-diabetic, prediabetic, or diabetic) based on your blood sugar levels after fasting for around 10-12 hours.
- Microalbumin (Spot Urine): Because it can identify kidney damage in diabetes early on, prompt intervention is possible. It supports tracking the course of the illness and evaluating the efficacy of treatment. It also offers information on the general state of vascular health.
- Urea: Since diabetes can cause kidney damage, it aids in the evaluation of kidney function. It directs the treatment of complications associated with diabetes and helps identify early indications of nephropathy.
- Creatinine: Testing for creatinine assesses kidney function because high levels may be a sign of renal damage. It supports diabetic patients' kidney health management and the early detection of diabetic nephropathy.
- Urine Complete Examination Automation: This test provides a detailed analysis of urine, detecting abnormalities such as protein, glucose, and ketones. It helps in early detection of diabetic complications, urinary tract infections, and kidney disorders.
- Glycated Hemoglobin (Hb 1Ac): This test helps to determine your average blood sugar (glucose) level over the previous two to three months. It helps to confirm your diabetic status and monitor your control over blood sugar levels.
- Lipid Profile: This blood test helps to determine your total blood cholesterol level, HDL-cholesterol (good cholesterol), and the level of LDL-cholesterol (bad cholesterol). It can help to analyze your risk of getting high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, and other heart diseases.
- LFT-Liver Function Test: It measures bilirubin levels, proteins, and enzymes to evaluate liver health. Patients with diabetes are more likely to experience complications related to the liver, so this aids in the detection of liver disease or damage.
- Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin): Vitamin B12 plays a critical role in various metabolic processes in the body and energy generation. It is also vital for maintaining nerve health. This test helps in determining the levels of this vitamin.
- KFT-Kidney Function Test: It assesses the kidneys' function by taking measurements of urea, creatinine, and other parameters. Patients with diabetes should pay special attention to this because diabetes can cause kidney damage and chronic kidney disease.
