Diabetes Check (HbA1c)
Catch pre-diabetes while it's still reversible.
HbA1c reflects your average blood sugar over the past three months, making it the standard test for diagnosing diabetes and — importantly — pre-diabetes, which can often be fully reversed with lifestyle change.
Millions of people in the UK have raised blood sugar without knowing. A quick in-clinic test settles the question, and your clinician will explain your result and what it means for you.

2 biomarkers from a single venous sample.
- HbA1c (3-month average blood sugar)

Who it may suit

- Symptoms like increased thirst, tiredness or frequent urination.
- Monitoring known pre-diabetes or diabetes between NHS reviews.
