2 biomarkers as listed by Better2Know.
Diabetes is a metabolic disease caused by an interplay between lifestyle factors and genes. Lifestyle factors such as lack of exercise, unhealthy diet choices and being overweight can all increase the likelihood of developing diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is becoming increasingly common across all ages. Up to one-third of adults in the country are at risk of developing diabetes.
Symptoms of diabetes include:
Fatigue
Unexpected weight loss
Frequent urination
Feeling thirsty a lot of the time
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, or are concerned you may have diabetes, you should consider our diabetes diagnostic test.
You will be required to provide a blood sample for our Diabetes Diagnostic test. Once the nurse has collected your sample, it will be sent to our accredited country laboratory for efficient analysis.
Our diabetes diagnostic test will assess the following:
Blood glucose. This test measures blood sugar levels
HbA1c. This test for glycosylated haemoglobin assesses how controlled your blood glucose levels have been over the last 3 months
Your confidential results from your diabetes diagnostic test will be ready within one working day after your sample has arrived at our accredited country laboratory. You can access your result at any time by logging in to your secure patient area on our website. One of our Patient Services team will contact you as soon as all your results are available.
If your diabetes diagnostic test shows that you have raised blood glucose levels, and are at the pre-diabetic stage, you should speak to a doctor as soon as possible. Medication can be prescribed to you, and further testing may be advised to ensure the success of the treatment. It is possible to lower your blood glucose levels if you make certain lifestyle changes.
If you would like, we can organise a private consultation with a doctor from our network of skilled doctors across the country.
