About this test

This panel brings together 14 biomarkers covering cholesterol (HDL, LDL, total cholesterol and triglycerides), blood sugar control via HbA1c, kidney function (creatinine, eGFR, sodium and urea), liver function (GGT, ALP and ALT) and blood proteins (albumin, globulin and total protein). Together these give a broad view of the kind of markers commonly checked in diabetes reviews.

We do not have a comparable panel from another provider in this size bracket to measure the price against, so we cannot say how the £56.25 cost compares with the wider market. The test can be done from home with a finger-prick sample, or via a venous draw at a clinic or during a nurse home visit, with results back within a day.

It scores at the top of the range for clinical depth, reflecting its 14 markers, and for collection convenience given the choice of sampling routes and fast turnaround. Value for money currently sits lower, mainly because we do not yet have a comparable panel to benchmark it against rather than any specific pricing concern. Results are reviewed by a doctor, which supports its results and follow-up score.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you want a single blood test that checks cholesterol, blood sugar control, kidney function and liver health together, for example as part of a general diabetes-related check or before making lifestyle changes you want to track. Because fasting for eight to twelve hours is required, it works best if you can plan the sample collection in advance, such as first thing in the morning.

We do not yet track a directly comparable panel from another provider, so we cannot point you to a cheaper or broader alternative.

How it works

You give a blood sample, either at home via finger-prick or through a venous draw at a clinic or during a nurse home visit, after fasting for eight to twelve hours. Once the sample reaches the lab, all 14 markers are measured and the results are reviewed by a doctor before being sent back to you, typically within a day.
