This test measures key cholesterol fractions (total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides) and HbA1c (glycated haemoglobin for average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months). It provides insights into cardiovascular risk and diabetes management.
Sample collection: A small blood sample is taken (usually serum or plasma tube) by a finger-prick kit at home or in one of our UK clinics. Our kit includes everything needed; simply return the sample in the pre-paid envelope. Results include a personalised doctor’s interpretation.
Age restriction: Adults 18+ only (guardian consent required for minors).
The Lipid Profile & HbA1c test is a combined screening for cholesterol levels and long-term blood sugar control. It evaluates lipid fractions to assess heart disease risk and HbA1c to detect prediabetes or diabetes. Your doctor may recommend this test during routine check-ups or if you have risk factors like obesity, family history of heart disease, or symptoms such as fatigue or excessive thirst. Swift Blood Tests processes samples rapidly, with results and a doctor’s report typically within a few days.
Overall level of cholesterol in the blood.
Helps remove other forms of cholesterol from the bloodstream.
Can build up in arteries, increasing heart disease risk.
A type of fat in the blood; high levels are linked to heart issues.
Measures average blood glucose over 2-3 months; elevated levels indicate poor sugar control or diabetes.
A venous blood sample is required (collected in a gold-top serum tube or similar). Fasting for 8-12 hours is recommended for accurate lipid results (water only). No fasting is needed for HbA1c alone. Send samples via the next-day laboratory service.
High LDL or triglycerides, low HDL suggest atherosclerosis or heart disease risk.
Elevated HbA1c can diagnose prediabetes or type 2 diabetes.
Tracks changes from diet, exercise, statins, or diabetes drugs.
Abnormal results may lead to further tests like advanced lipid panels or glucose tolerance tests. The test offers a snapshot of metabolic health and often prompts targeted interventions if issues are detected.
Chest pain, high blood pressure, or family history of heart attacks.
Frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, or blurred vision.
Poor diet, smoking, sedentary habits, or obesity.
Monitoring for known high cholesterol, diabetes, or metabolic syndrome. For example, a patient with a family history of heart disease may have elevated LDL on the lipid profile. Similarly, someone with fatigue might have high HbA1c indicating diabetes. Your doctor will interpret the results alongside your history and may order additional tests based on the findings.

A Lipid Profile measures cholesterol fractions and triglycerides, while HbA1c assesses average blood sugar. Together, they evaluate heart and diabetes risks.
It’s often part of routine screenings or for symptoms/risks like high cholesterol, diabetes, or heart disease.
Fast for 8-12 hours for lipids (water only). No preparation for HbA1c.
A small blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm using a needle. It is quick and routine.
Risks are very low. Slight pain or bruising at the site may occur.
Results are typically available within 2–3 working days, with a doctor’s report.
Yes, via our home finger-prick kit or clinic appointment.
Diet, exercise, medications, or recent meals (for lipids) can influence levels.
High lipids may indicate heart risk; high HbA1c suggests diabetes. Follow-up tests may be needed.
Intended for adults 18+. Consult a specialist for children.
