Diabetes Profile Blood Test

This package is suitable if you want to check or monitor your blood sugar control, particularly if you have risk factors for diabetes, a family history, or have been advised to keep an eye on your glucose levels.

The blood tests assess long-term blood sugar control alongside current fasting glucose levels and general blood health. The results can help identify early changes, support ongoing monitoring, and guide discussions about lifestyle or next steps with your healthcare provider.

Please note: Do not eat or drink anything except water for 8-12 hours before this blood test.

Preparing for your blood test

  • Hydrate: Drink plenty of water in the 24 hours before your blood test. This will make the blood draw easier.

  • Make sure the blood draw area is easily accessible: Wear loose clothing that allows access to both arms and hands.

  • If you're on anticoagulant medication, take it after the appointment: If this is not possible, you can take it before the appointment, if it's absolutely essential.

  • Let our clinic team know if you are nervous about needles: They will make sure you're calm and comfortable and do everything they can to make your blood draw quick and simple.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is not unusual for some bleeding to occur under the skin following your blood test and sometimes this can extend a little further around the puncture site.  If this causes you concern, check with your practice nurse. 

Sometimes we cannot get a blood sample from you. This can be for many reasons, such as not being hydrated enough, feeling cold or having another blood test recently. We will always offer you another appointment so we can try again.
