Diabetes Status

This test checks your levels of HbA1c and Glucose. This biomarker is used to confirm whether you have (or are at risk of developing) diabetes. It is a potentially life-saving test and it is quite common for people have diabetes and not know about it. Unmanaged or undiagnosed diabetes is one of the leading causes of mortality. For anyone who already knows they have diabetes, regular HbA1c checks are essential to monitor progress.

Biomarkers:

HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin) Glucose (a kind of sugar) builds up in the blood and binds to the haemoglobin in the red blood cells. A Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test is used to measure the average level of blood glucose over the past two to three months and is commonly used to diagnose and monitor diabetes.

Glucose A blood glucose test screens for diabetes by measuring the level of glucose (sugar) in a person’s blood. A high range could indicate pre diabetes or diabetes. A glucose test is also used to monitor glucose control for those people who are already known to have diabetes.

Insulin blood test measures the amount of insulin in your blood. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps regulate blood sugar levels. It allows glucose (sugar) from food to enter your cells for energy.

C-peptide blood test measures the amount of C-peptide in your blood. C-peptide is a substance produced by the pancreas along with insulin. It's a byproduct of the insulin-making process.
