Diabetes is a condition where your blood sugar (glucose) levels become too high. This happens when your body either doesn't make enough insulin or can't use it properly. Diabetes can impact anyone at any age. It's typically a lifelong condition, but it can be managed well with medications and lifestyle alterations if detected early. Diabetes care packages are complete health check solutions designed specifically for people with diabetes or those at risk of diabetes. These packages are important for monitoring blood glucose levels, evaluating diabetes-related complications, and assessing the overall health status. Orange Health Labs offer a comprehensive Diabetic Health Checkup that monitors health markers including lipid profile, fasting blood sugar, glycosylated haemoglobin, microalbumin creatinine ratio in urine, postprandial blood sugar, urine complete analysis, liver function tests with GGT and advanced kidney function tests.

In fast-paced cities like Bangalore, where health can be easily neglected due to hectic lifestyles, opting for our Diabetes Care Package can enable individuals to monitor and maintain their health actively.

The following points should be considered before getting a Diabetes Care Package at home:

• Prerequisites : While there are no specific requirements for most tests, fasting for a few hours may be necessary for tests like the fasting blood sugar test included in the package.

• Best Time to Get Tested : The Diabetes test package includes fasting and post-meal blood sugar tests. The fasting blood test requires you to fast for 10-12 hours before the test, so the ideal time for the first test is in the morning after an overnight fast. The post-meal test is done 2 hours after a meal.

• Who Should Avail of Diabetic Health Checkup Packages : A Diabetic Health Checkup is useful for:

- Individuals under 45 years of age who are overweight or obese
