Finding the cause(s) of:

  • Blurred vision: This test helps identify high blood sugar levels, which can cause temporary changes in the lens of your eye leading to blurred vision.
  • Fatigue: High blood sugar can affect how your body uses energy, leading to fatigue, which this test can help detect.
  • Frequent urination: This test measures blood sugar, as high levels can cause your kidneys to work overtime to remove excess sugar, leading to frequent urination.

  • Increased thirst: High blood sugar levels, detected by this test, can cause dehydration and lead to excessive thirst.
