Diabetes Profile I plus Premium Report - (£123)

Diabetes Profile
The Diabetes Profile is a detailed blood test that provides a complete assessment of metabolic health by focusing on the key factors linked to diabetes management and cardiovascular risk. It measures critical markers that evaluate blood sugar control, kidney performance, and lipid balance, offering valuable insights for early detection, diagnosis, and long-term monitoring of diabetes.

This profile includes both blood glucose and HbA1c measurements — two essential markers that reflect short-term and long-term blood sugar levels. These results help determine whether a person has diabetes, prediabetes, or how effectively existing diabetes is being controlled through treatment or lifestyle changes.

In addition to glucose regulation, this test evaluates kidney health through urea and creatinine levels. Since diabetes can strain the kidneys and increase the risk of chronic kidney disease, monitoring these parameters is essential for preventing long-term complications.

The lipid profile component assesses cholesterol and triglyceride levels to evaluate cardiovascular risk. Measuring Total Cholesterol, HDL (good cholesterol), LDL-C (bad cholesterol), Triglycerides, and the Cholesterol Risk Factor provides a clear view of heart health, which is crucial as diabetes significantly increases the likelihood of heart disease and stroke.

By combining these metabolic and cardiovascular markers, the Diabetes Profile offers a holistic picture of how diabetes affects the body and guides targeted management strategies to maintain overall health and prevent complications.
