Understanding Lipid and Diabetes Monitoring in New Delhi

What is Lipid and Diabetes Monitoring in New Delhi?

The Lipid and Diabetes Monitoring package is available at an affordable in New Delhi price with Tata 1mg labs. This package comprises tests that help estimate your blood lipid levels and blood glucose levels to manage diabetes and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications.

Diabetes and dyslipidemia (abnormal lipid levels) often coexist. High blood glucose can lead to lipid abnormalities and vice versa. Lipid and Diabetes Monitoring checks for both conditions simultaneously, enabling doctors to identify and address both these health issues early on to prevent future health concerns. Regular monitoring is crucial for the early detection of any abnormalities and to ensure effective management of diabetes and related lipid disorders. The test results help doctors to make necessary adjustments to your diet, lifestyle, and medications. Overnight fasting of 8 to 12 hours is required for this test. However, drinking water is acceptable.

What does Lipid and Diabetes Monitoring measure?

Contains 9 tests

The Lipid and Diabetes Monitoring package includes two tests: Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) test and lipid profile to comprehensively assess your metabolic health and cardiovascular risk factors. It helps detect and manage conditions like diabetes, prediabetes, and dyslipidemia (abnormal lipid levels) at an early stage. Additionally, it offers insights into the risk of developing heart disease and provides valuable information for lifestyle adjustments, medical interventions, and preventive measures to improve overall health.

HbA1c (Hemoglobin A1c)

An HbA1c (Hemoglobin A1c) test precisely measures the percentage of sugar-coated or glycated hemoglobin in your blood. The test results represent the proportion of hemoglobin in your blood that has been glycated.

Hemoglobin, a vital protein found in red blood cells, is responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body. Hemoglobin A is the most abundant form of hemoglobin, and when blood sugar levels increase, a higher proportion of hemoglobin A becomes glycated. As red blood cells have a lifespan of approximately 120 days, the sugar molecules remain attached to the hemoglobin for the duration of the cell's life. Consequently, the HbA1c test offers insight into your average blood sugar levels over the past 8 to 12 weeks.

Lipid Profile

The Lipid Profile assesses the level of specific fat molecules called lipids in the blood and helps determine the risk of heart ailments. This test determines the amount of different types of lipids, including total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides. Lipids play a pivotal role in the functioning of the body. They are crucial components of the cell membranes and hormones, provide cushioning, and are a storehouse of energy. Any alterations in the lipid levels may lead to potential heart ailments, making their monitoring crucial.
