the American Diabetes Association (ADA). One disadvantage of DTI Laboratories testing is that there are no medical professionals available for consultation after a positive test result.
Among the kit’s contents are a positive patient ID, a sample vial that preserves blood samples, and a capillary device to easily collect an accurate sample (only one drop of blood is needed).
The cost is around $48, and insurance billing is not provided.

Day 1: Just Been Diagnosed with Diabetes
When to See the Doctor
Early detection and intervention of prediabetes may lead to the prevention of diabetic complications. Your healthcare provider should be consulted right away if your HgA1C level is high after your home blood glucose test.
Diabetes symptoms often appear because of high blood sugar (hyperglycemia), so people don’t seek medical attention until they have symptoms of diabetes. Common warning signs of diabetes to watch for that require medical attention include increased hunger and thirst, urinating frequently, and fatigue.
