Hildr Most routine physical examination packages include blood glucose testing, but generally only fasting venous blood glucose is included. There are also cases where some low-priced entry-level packages do not include blood glucose items, so it cannot be generalized.
Many people have the misunderstanding that "blood sugar is not measured during routine physical examinations." This is mostly due to two situations: either they did not pay attention to the blood sugar items in the report, or they measured fasting blood sugar but found no critical abnormality, and mistakenly thought that no test was done when problems arise later. I have been working in a community physical examination center for almost 6 years, and I have met dozens of users who came to ask questions with their reports, saying that they just had a regular package of group examinations at work half a year ago, and why were they suddenly diagnosed with prediabetes? When I dug out the previous reports, I found that the column for fasting blood glucose clearly stated 5.8mm. ol/L, which has reached the critical value of impaired fasting blood sugar. However, the reference range reported at the time was 3.9-6.1mmol/L. The user felt that it was within the range and did not take it seriously. He did not even notice the small print reminder given by the doctor at the end of the report that "it is recommended to monitor postprandial blood sugar."
Of course, there are cases where regular packages do not include blood sugar. Most of them are entry screenings and physical examinations that cost less than 100 yuan. In order to control costs, Party A will cut off metabolic items such as blood lipids, blood sugar, and uric acid, and only retain basic required items such as blood routine, liver function, chest X-ray, and electrocardiogram. A young girl who had just graduated came for a 99 yuan physical examination before. When she was getting the report, she chased the nurse and asked why there was no blood sugar result. After looking through the item details, she realized that it was not included in the package, and in the end she had to collect an extra tube of blood.
If you have a family history of diabetes, sit for long periods of time and like to order iced milk tea, and have a lot of fat on your waist and abdomen, even if you choose a regular package, it is best to ask the front desk to add a glycosylated hemoglobin test, which only costs a few dozen yuan. The first test of fasting blood sugar is much more reliable - after all, many people have normal fasting blood sugar, but their postprandial blood sugar has already drifted above the warning line. It is easy to miss the diagnosis by relying solely on the fasting blood sugar in the regular meal plan. When there is a problem, it is easy to misunderstand that the blood sugar is not checked in the routine physical examination.
