A Comprehensive Diabetes test for men and women.
3 biomarkers as listed by Better2Know.
Our comprehensive diabetes test measures blood sugar levels to identify whether you may have damaged kidneys or are at risk of diabetes. This is an advanced test which also includes a microalbumin test, used to detect very small levels of albumin (a blood protein) in urine. Albumin is one of the first proteins to leak when your kidneys become damaged.
You may wish to consider our comprehensive diabetes test If you are concerned about your kidney health and diabetes risk. The additional test for microalbumin can indicate signs of kidney damage in those who are at risk of developing kidney disease, such as people with diabetes or high blood pressure.
Our comprehensive diabetes test will require you to provide a urine and blood sample. Once the clinician has collected your samples, they will be sent to our fully accredited country laboratory for fast and accurate analysis.
Our test will measure the following:
Blood glucose. This test measures blood sugar levels
HbA1c. To assess how controlled your blood glucose levels have been over the last 3 months
Microalbumin test. This test detects levels of albumin which can indicate kidney damage
Within two working days of your sample's arrival at our accredited laboratory, your results will be available to view in your secure patient area on our website. You can track the progress of your results at any time through the website, using your login. A member of our Patient Services team will contact you to let you know when all your results are ready.
If your test results show that you have raised blood glucose levels and are at the stage described as pre-diabetic, you should see a doctor immediately. Medication can be prescribed to you, and further testing may be recommended to ensure the success of treatment. If you make certain lifestyle changes, it is possible to lower blood sugar levels. If your tests confirm that you may have diabetes, it is imperative that you seek further medical attention. Better2Know will be happy to arrange a further doctors consultation for you.
