Protect Your Metabolic Health
Diabetes affects over 4 million people in the UK, with many more undiagnosed. Uncontrolled diabetes is a leading cause of kidney disease, heart disease, and vision loss. This screening detects diabetes and pre-diabetes early, and includes microalbumin testing which can detect kidney damage years before standard tests show problems.

Who Should Take This Test?
Those with Risk Factors
Family history of diabetes, overweight/obesity, sedentary lifestyle, or history of gestational diabetes all increase risk.
People Over 40
Type 2 diabetes risk increases with age. Regular screening is recommended from age 40, or earlier with risk factors.
Existing Diabetics
If you have diabetes, regular monitoring of HbA1c and microalbumin helps ensure good control and catches complications early.
Those with Symptoms
Increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, or blurred vision may indicate diabetes.
How to Prepare for Your Appointment
A little preparation goes a long way — following these simple steps helps ensure your results are as accurate as possible.
Fast for 12 hours
Your panel includes fasting blood tests such as lipid profile and glucose — please fast for 12 hours before your appointment; only water is permitted during the fasting period.
Book a morning appointment
Most patients find fasting easiest overnight — sleep through most of the fasting window and attend first thing in the morning.
Stay well hydrated
Drink plenty of water before your visit. Being well hydrated makes the blood draw quicker and more comfortable.
Wear comfortable clothing
Choose a top with loose sleeves that roll up easily for the blood sample.
Take regular medication as normal
Continue any prescribed medication unless your doctor has advised otherwise. If you can, bring a list of what you take.
Avoid alcohol & strenuous exercise
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours and heavy exercise the day before your appointment, as both can temporarily affect your results.
