No. The only test for diabetes is to test your blood. If you are in a diabetic coma, then they need to check your pulse to see part of your condition. The test for Diabetes is the HbA1c test which tests the amount of sugar that is attached to your blood cells. Anything above 7% is considered to be diabetes. It is a simple test and you can buy a test kit for this for about $9 from Walmart. Most of the diabetics strive to control blood sugar below 6%. The next and most common test is to test the current blood glucose, using a glucose meter. A fasting, not eating for 12 hours, level above 90 is considered to be questionable. Most diabetes when they find they are diabetic are in the 200 or above milligrams of glucose per deciliter.
