The Urine Sugar Test measures the amount of glucose in the urine, which is used to monitor glucose control in diabetes and assess the risk of complications. The 1.5 Hour ABF (After Breakfast) Blood Glucose Test measures blood glucose levels 1.5 hours after eating, providing insight into how well the body manages glucose after a meal.

Elevated Urine Sugar: High levels of glucose in urine can indicate poor blood sugar control, suggesting a higher risk for diabetes complications such as kidney damage (diabetic nephropathy).

1.5 Hour ABF Test: High blood glucose levels 1.5 hours after eating suggest insulin resistance or an inability to manage postprandial (after-meal) glucose levels effectively, increasing the risk of developing diabetes or worsening its complications.

Urine Sugar: Normally, there should be little to no glucose in urine.

• • Normal Range: Negative or less than 0.8 mmol/L.

1.5 Hour ABF Blood Glucose:

• • Normal Range: Less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) in non-diabetics.
  • Pre-diabetes: 140-199 mg/dL (7.8-11.0 mmol/L).
  • Diabetes: 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) or higher.

• Urine Sugar:
  • Negative or Trace: Normal glucose control.
  • Positive: Indicates hyperglycemia and poor blood glucose control.
• 1.5 Hour ABF Blood Glucose:
  • Normal (<140 mg/dL): Indicates normal glucose metabolism.
  • Elevated (140-199 mg/dL): Suggests impaired glucose tolerance (pre-diabetes).
  • High (>200 mg/dL): Indicates diabetes or poor control in diabetics.

Urine Sugar Test: Random or first-morning urine sample.

1.5 Hour ABF Blood Glucose Test: Blood sample taken 1.5 hours after consuming a standardized breakfast or meal.
