In a diabetic person following blood test are recommended as a routine evaluation:
1. Complete Blood Count
2. Kidney and Liver function tests
3. Fasting Lipid Profile
4. Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c)
5. Thyroid Profile
6. Urine for Microalbumin
7. ECG , Chest X-ray
8. HsCRP
9. Fundus examination for Diabetic Retinopathy.
All these tests would give an idea of all the basic systems that can be involved due to diabetes.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
