Diabetes causes more deaths a year than breast cancer and AIDS combined.

DIABETIC LAB GLUCOSE LEVELS IF THE DIAGNOSIS OF DIABETES MELLITUS IS MADE CHECK FOR THE FOLLOWING: Fasting lipid profile: if total and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol values are elevated, triglyceride value is elevated, or HDL cholesterol level is decreased, the patient is at high risk for developing cardiovascular disease. Urinalysis test for presence of microalbuminuria, ketones, protein, and sediment: if present may indicate early renal disease caused by hyperglycemia.
