Diabetes is detected by measuring the amount of glucose in the blood after a person has fasted (abstained from food) for about eight hours. In some cases, doctors diagnose diabetes by administering a test of oral glucose tolerance test, which measures glucose levels before and after a certain amount of sugar has been ingested.

Another test being developed for type 1 diabetes are looking for specific antibodies (immune system proteins that attack foreign substances) present only in people with diabetes. This test can detect the type 1 diabetes at an early stage, reducing the risk of complications of the disease.

Once diabetes is diagnosed, treatment consists of controlling the amount of glucose in the blood and prevent complications. Depending on the type of diabetes, this can be achieved through regular exercise, a carefully controlled diet and medication.
