Medical procedures
A1C Diabetes Test
The A1C test is a commonly used blood test used to diagnose type 1 and type 2 diabetic conditions and then to monitor how well your body is managing it. The A1C diabetes test is also known as glycosylated haemoglobin, glycatedhemoglobin, hemoglobin A1C and HbA1c.
The A1C test result indicates the average blood sugar level of your body for the past two to three years. Particularly, the A1C test measures what percentage of hemoglobin is coated with sugar (glycated). The higher your A1C level, the weaker is your blood sugar control resulting in higher risk of diabetes complications.
Glucose Challenge Test
The glucose challenge test monitors your body's reaction to sugar (glucose). This test is done during pregnancy to scan for gestational diabetes, diabetes that develops due to pregnancy.
The glucose challenge test is done in a two-step process. First, you drink a sugary solution. Second, an hour later, your blood sugar level is recorded. The result indicates whether there is a possibility of gestational diabetes.
If the test results are not within normal level, further testing may be required to determine the diagnosis.
Glucose Tolerance Test
The glucose tolerance test, or the oral glucose tolerance test, is also done to measure your body's response to sugar (glucose). The glucose tolerance test is most commonly used to check for type 2 diabetes. Glucose tolerance test is a modified version of the glucose challenge test used to detect gestational diabetes.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
This therapy includes breathing sterilized oxygen in a pressurized room or concentrated tube. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is the most commonly used treatment for decompression sickness- an accident of scuba diving. Other disorders treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy include severe infections, air bubbles in your blood vessels, and wounds that won't heal naturally due to diabetes or radiation injury. In a hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber, the air pressure is increased by three times than the normal air pressure. These conditions lead to your lungs inhaling more oxygen than what would be possible to breathe pure oxygen at normal air pressure. Your blood carries this oxygen throughout your body, which helps your body to fight bacteria and stimulate the release of chemicals like growth factors and stem cells, which aid the healing process.
