  • \- Albumin within normal limits
  • \- Serum creatinine within normal limits
  • Fasting glucose should be 70\-115 mg / dl. Results between 115\-140 mg / dl require repeating the fasting glucose test to be \<140 mg / dl and Hb A1c (glycosylated hemoglobin) \<8\.5%. Hemoglobin Ale should be \<8\.5% for diabetic patients (even when in control with diet or medication).
