Having a healthy cholesterol level is key to the health of your heart. Cholesterol testing at our London clinics is a great way to keep track of your cholesterol levels & stay heart healthy.
 

Diabetes is one of the most common diseases in the UK, which can cause long-term, serious complications if left untreated or not properly managed. With proper care from an experienced doctor, symptoms can be alleviated and, in some cases, the condition can be reversed.

Both types of diabetes, type 1 & type 2, affect the body’s metabolism, the process through which it converts food into energy. In both cases, blood sugar levels are affected, & the body’s insulin is unable to break down glucose.

Type 1 diabetes is a genetic autoimmune disorder affecting the body’s insulin production; it is identified in childhood.

Type 2 diabetes, which is more common, occurs when the pancreas stops being able to produce insulin. Type 2 diabetes develops as a result of obesity & overweight, lack of exercise, poor diet, & elevated levels of cholesterol.

The Diabetes Testing Options include:

  • Platinum profile – £179 – this includes fasting glucose, HbA1C and many other helpful markers
  • Silver profile – £59 – this includes fasting glucose and other helpful markers
  • Fasting insulin level – £75
  • HbA1C test alone – £85

If you are concerned about diabetes, we recommend having a consultation with one of our experienced doctors.

When should I get tested?

Anyone can come in for a cholesterol test, which will inform you regarding whether or not your levels are healthy.

Your doctor may also advise you to undergo regular cholesterol testing, depending on any existing health conditions you have.

Once your levels have been tested, a doctor can advise you on any measures that could benefit your health, such as a change in diet, your exercise regimen, or medication.

What the test includes

The cholesterol test is a simple blood test. A doctor or nurse will discuss the test & any health issues or concerns with you before taking your sample.

 

What to Expect

Step 1
Preparing for test
We would like to advise you to fast for cholesterol test. You can have a light dinner the night before the medical & skip breakfast the following morning. However make sure you keep yourself hydrated by drinking a sufficient amount of water. You can have tea or black coffee without milk or sugar. If your appointment is in the afternoon, please avoid food for 6 hours.
Step 2
During the test
The doctor or nurse will take a small sample of blood from your arm, usually on the inner arm, near the elbow. This is a relatively painless procedure.
Step 3
Results
Once we receive the results from the laboratory we will email them over to you. If the test was suggested by one of our doctors the doctor will give you a call to explain the results for you. If you didn't have a consultation at our clinic you can take the results to your own doctor or come back for a consultation.
