Diabetes tests

What type of tests are used to diagnose diabetes?
 
Though Type 1 diabetes is often called juvenile diabetes it actually can occur at any age, and is most frequently diagnosed before the age of 20.

Type 1 diabetes is an insulin-dependent diabetes, which means the body is unable to produce enough insulin on a regular basis to properly handle glucose in the bloodstream. When the glucose does not enter into the bloodstream an individual with type 1 diabetes will experience fatigue coupled with increased hunger, frequent urination and excessive thirst. These are some of the initial symptoms that will lead a patient to seek a medical examination, and eventually leads to a proper diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. Other common indicators which may occur along with those mentioned above are weight loss, abdominal pain and nausea.
