Biochemistry Tests in Kurukshetra —

Fasting blood sugar is measured after at least 8–10 hours without food or drink (except water). It gives a baseline glucose level without the influence of a recent meal. Random blood sugar is measured at any time regardless of when you last ate. HbA1c does not require fasting and gives the best picture of long-term glucose control.

HbA1c every 3 months to monitor overall control. Fasting/PP glucose as advised by your doctor — often monthly or when symptoms change. KFT and LFT every 6–12 months to monitor for diabetes complications. Lipid profile annually.

Elevated liver enzymes (ALT, AST) indicate the liver cells are under stress or damaged. Common causes include fatty liver, alcohol, viral hepatitis, medications, or gallbladder disease. A single abnormal result should be investigated — it does not always mean serious liver disease. Your doctor will advise on follow-up.
