Answer:

A fasting blood sugar test will be ordered.

Explanation:

A fasting blood sugar test or a glycated hemoglobin test is ordered in such situations. Additionally, tests to determine the insulin level as well as an ophthalmic investigation to determine diabetic retinopathy are ordered. Blood sugar level less than 100 mg/dl is classified as normal. A person is pre-disposed to diabetes if his blood sugar level is between 100-125 mg/dl.

A confirmed case of diabetes mellitus will have a fasting blood sugar level, 126 mg/dl and higher. Insulin administration and a proper management of diet are essential in managing the condition.

Arte-miy333 [17]
I believe the statement would be that, A magnetic field created by the electric current causes the compass needle to move. 
An electric current through a conductor creates a magnetic field,such that when a charged particle such as an electron, proton, or ion is in motion, magnetic lines of force rotate around the particle. Since current moving through the wire consists of electrons in motion, there is a magnetic field around the wire, which causes the compass needle to deflect.
