How is the diagnosis confirmed?
The most simple test which will reveal this condition is a urine 'dipstick' examination to detect glucose in the urine. High blood glucose levels result in a spill over of glucose into the urine. However, this does not confirm the diagnosis, which requires a fasting blood sample or oral glucose tolerance test. See the accompanying leaflet 'Diagnosing Diabetes' for more information.
