Ultimate Specialist Diabetes Test
The complete picture of blood sugar control and insulin resistance.
A specialist diabetes package that looks beyond a single HbA1c. It measures long-term blood sugar (HbA1c) together with fasting glucose, insulin and C-peptide, so blood sugar control and insulin resistance can be seen side by side.
It also covers the areas diabetes affects over time, including kidney and liver function, cholesterol and inflammation, for a fuller view of your metabolic health.

26 biomarkers from a single venous sample.
- HbA1c
- Fasting Glucose
