Diabetes testing is an important part of a Doctorcall health screen. Diabetes is common and can be hidden. If left unmanaged, it can lead to serious health complications but with the right care it can be fully controlled and in some cases, the condition can even be reversed.
Our tests include glucose and glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1C)—these give a good indication of your glucose control. Testing is about more than just diagnosing a condition; it’s about empowering you to make informed decisions for your future.
Diabetes is a silent disease so you should be tested for it, preferably every year, especially if you have a family history or other risk factors. Many patients have no symptoms, but when it becomes established, some symptoms may emerge. They tend to do so gradually so they may not be noticed:
Even if you don’t have symptoms but have a family history of diabetes or other risk factors, testing can provide reassurance and clarity. While type 2 diabetes is more common after the age of 40, younger people are increasingly being diagnosed—making regular health checks even more important.
Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes affect the body’s ability to regulate blood sugar, but they develop differently:
Type 1 diabetes is often diagnosed in childhood and results from the body’s inability to produce insulin.
Type 2 diabetes is more common and develops over time, often due to lifestyle factors such as diet, lack of exercise, or elevated cholesterol levels.
No matter the type, early diagnosis is key to preventing complications and improving quality of life.
We believe healthcare should be delivered in a way which is personalised, and convenient, efficient and appropiate.
A private diabetes test is a tailored health service we provide to assess your blood sugar levels and overall metabolic health. Unlike standard NHS testing, our private diabetes tests are designed to be more accessible, with same-day appointments and results available. We bring the care to your doorstep, making the process stress-free and convenient.
We test both glucose glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1C.)
We would aim to provide an understanding of your risk factors and help you take proactive steps for your health.
A Doctorcall diabetes test can be done stand-alone or is part of a health screen. Call us for further information.
No referral is needed to book a private diabetes test with us. You can self-refer by contacting our team directly. During your appointment, our doctor will guide you regarding the most appropriate tests based on your needs.
The cost depends upon whether the test follows a general consultation or is part of a health screen.
Glucose and HbA1C results are generally available within 4 hours of the sample reaching the laboratory.
Most insurance policies do not cover routine checks, but if you have symptoms you may be covered. Please contact your insurance company.
Yes. One of the things that sets Doctorcall apart is our home-visit service. We bring the entire testing process to you.
If your results show signs of diabetes, our doctor will provide you with a clear plan of action. We’ll discuss the findings in detail, offer advice on lifestyle changes, and guide you toward any necessary treatments. If required, we will help you with referrals for specialist care.
Preparation depends on the type of test:
