Overview

The Diabetes Screening Test is a focused blood test designed to evaluate your blood sugar control and assess your risk of developing diabetes or pre-diabetes. Diabetes is a serious metabolic condition affecting how your body processes glucose (sugar), and early detection is crucial for prevention and management. This test measures both your current blood glucose levels and your average blood sugar control over the past 2-3 months, providing a comprehensive picture of your metabolic health. 

 

Key Test Components

HbA1c (Glycated Hemoglobin)
  • Measures average blood sugar control over the past 2-3 months
  • Gold standard test for diabetes diagnosis and monitoring
  • HbA1c below 5.7% is normal, 5.7-6.4% indicates pre-diabetes, and 6.5% or higher suggests diabetes
  • Provides a reliable long-term picture of glucose control unaffected by day-to-day fluctuations
  • Measures blood sugar level after an overnight fast
  • Normal fasting glucose is below 5.6 mmol/L (100 mg/dL)
  • Fasting glucose between 5.6-6.9 mmol/L (100-125 mg/dL) indicates pre-diabetes
  • Fasting glucose of 7.0 mmol/L (126 mg/dL) or higher on two occasions confirms diabetes
  • Provides snapshot of current blood sugar regulation

First Class Service
Friendly and helpful staff. Arranged an appointment for the next day at home. Joanne arrived for my appointment to take the required blood tests and delivered them to my local hospital within 35 minutes. I cannot recommend Swift Blood Tests highly enough.

 

Anne

I can’t praise this company enough! Jo arrived on time and was so lovely, easy to talk to and efficient. The whole process from booking the appointment ( and getting one for the following day) to receiving a text that the bloods had arrived at the hospital was really impressive. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use this service again-

 

Laura T

This is an amazing service which I heard about through a recommendation and I will 100% be recommending to friends. I booked in late one even and Joanne came early the next morning. I work in London so this was perfect to work around unusual business hours. Joanne was so efficient and friendly. Thank you!

Organised a visit for my disabled elderly mother. Trying to get a local appointment through the NHS swift queue system would have meant several weeks wait. This service was booked online within minutes and the service was prompt, efficient and very professionally carried out by a friendly nurse
