Diabetes Screen~Diabetes is amongst the fastest growing health conditions in the UK and the presence of high glucose in urine is an early indicator of the onset of this disease.
Symptoms of high blood glucose (known as hyperglycemia) include increased thirst, increased urination, blurred vision and tiredness, or low blood glucose, (known as hypoglycemia), include sweating, hunger, confusion, trembling and blurred vision.
Sometimes preganant women can develop glycosuria or glucose present in their urine as gestational diabetes develops. Often associated with age, diabetes is now increasing in a much younger population.
At veolabs we test for the amount of blood glucose
and urine glucose.
The following items are analysed:
- Blood glucose level
- Haemoglobin A1c level
- Urine Microalbumin test for kidney function
Your test will be followed up by a telephone summary explaining your report.
