Diabetes affects millions worldwide and is particularly prevalent in the UAE. Early detection through proper blood sugar testing is crucial for preventing complications and managing the condition effectively. At DCDC, we offer comprehensive diabetes screening including HbA1c, fasting glucose, and oral glucose tolerance tests.

HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin) provides a 3-month average of your blood sugar levels, making it the gold standard for diabetes diagnosis and monitoring. Combined with fasting glucose and insulin levels, we can assess your diabetes risk, diagnose prediabetes, or monitor existing diabetes management.

Our MOHAP-licensed laboratory in Dubai Healthcare City uses advanced analyzers for accurate results. Early morning fasting appointments are available, with most results ready within 24 hours. We offer direct billing with 20+ insurance providers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Diabetes Testing in Dubai.

HbA1c measures your average blood sugar over the past 2-3 months. It is the gold standard for diabetes diagnosis and monitoring. Normal is below 5.7%, prediabetes is 5.7-6.4%, and diabetes is 6.5% or higher.

Fasting (8-12 hours) is required for fasting glucose and OGTT. HbA1c alone does not require fasting, but tests are often combined. We provide specific instructions when you book.

Fasting glucose measures your blood sugar at one point in time, while HbA1c shows your average over 3 months. Both are valuable: fasting glucose for immediate status, HbA1c for overall control.

Prediabetes means blood sugar is higher than normal but not yet diabetes. It is a warning sign that lifestyle changes can often reverse. Fasting glucose 100-125 mg/dL or HbA1c 5.7-6.4% indicates prediabetes.

If normal, retest every 3 years. With prediabetes, test annually. With diabetes, HbA1c every 3-6 months depending on control. Your doctor will recommend the appropriate schedule.

OGTT involves drinking a glucose solution and measuring blood sugar at intervals (usually fasting, 1 hour, and 2 hours). It is more sensitive than fasting glucose alone for detecting diabetes and gestational diabetes.
