How much does a diabetes test cost?

for a while i've suspected that i might have diabetes type 1 but not positive. currently the symptoms seem to fit, but i don't want to spend lots on a test for just a hunch. i have insurance so i know it won't be extremely high. Do you know the cost?

I had mine done years ago in a hospital. The doctor told me to go out and eat breakfast. Eat anything and everything. Pancakes and syrup, Bacon and eggs , toast , jelly ect. The to go to hospital after 2 hours and get blood drawn. 1 time. I did , and was sent a bill for $549. What a ripoff..
Best bet is buy a glucose meter and check yourself. A heck of a lot cheaper..

Good luck and pray its not positive.

Before going to any expense, ask any older folks, that have the diabetes, and test equipment, to do a test on you.

It consists of a small pin prick / a spot of your blood, / and their machine will give the results / amount of sugar in the blood.

between 4. and 7. is considered normal.

You would not want your level to be in double digit / (High)
or below 4 (passout time).

If it is in either serious range, see a physician for guidance.

The cost differs from city to city and doctor to doctor but it's just a blood test so it's not eextremely high. If you call your doctors office they can tell you how much it will be before you go. If you do have diabetes you want to get it under control before you really start having major problems or it will cost a lot more than just having the test.
Good luck.
