    Is it for me?

    Yes, if you’re at risk of diabetes. You’re at risk if you:

    Are Asian (even if under 40)
    Are Black (even if under 40)
    Are over 40
    Are overweight
    Have a family history of diabetes

    What is tested?

    HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin):
    Measures the amount of blood sugar (glucose) attached to the haemoglobin in your blood and gives you your average blood sugar level from the last 3 months.

    FAQs

     

    A 'normal' HbA1c level will be specific to you and your body. We'll let you know whether your results fall within a normal range or outside of it once we've processed your results, taking into account variables like your age and biological sex.

    Nope, no fasting needed! 

    Yes. You shouldn’t take this test if you:

    • are under 18
    • are pregnant or have had a baby in the last 2 months
    • have a medical condition or take regular medication which could affect the result


      Talk to your doctor before taking this test. Being pregnant can have a noticeable impact on your results, so make sure to check in with your GP first.
