Diabetes & Blood Sugar Regulation Testing
On-demand Webinar
Recent data from the Australian Bureau
of Statistics (2022) shows that one in twenty Australians
are diagnosed with diabetes in their lifetime.
Gestational
diabetes accounts for approximately 4% of cases. Type 1
diabetes accounts for approximately 9% of all diagnosis and
type 2 diabetes accounts for almost 87% of diagnosed
diabetes cases in Australia.
In this webinar you will learn about key
tests to use in your clinical practice to help you assess
for and monitor blood sugar; and about the kinds of tests to
be aware of when working alongside a patient’s general
practitioner and/or endocrinologist. You’ll be shown how to
interpret tests and what important factors to look out for.
- Glucose testing (fasting, random and challenge testing)
- HbA1C testing
- Pancreatic hormone testing (insulin and glucagon)
- Specific Enzyme & Antibody testing (GAD, Insulin antibodies, C peptide)
Jasmine will also step you through a real-life case study, helping you put what you have learnt about blood sugar regulation testing into the context of a real clinical case.
