What is the Diabetes Check blood test?
A private Diabetes Check blood test can help you understand key markers related to your blood sugar control. Many people book this test proactively to get a clearer picture of their current health status, especially if they are concerned about diabetes or simply want to monitor their well-being.
This focused panel measures Glucose, HbA1c, Insulin, and C-peptide, which are commonly used markers to help assess your blood sugar control over time. It's important to remember that this blood test measures specific markers; a qualified clinician will interpret these results in the context of your overall health.
Your small blood sample will be taken at our modern clinic in Dartford, Kent, and sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for processing. You'll receive your results, reviewed by a clinician, in your secure online portal within 2–5 working days. You can book this private blood test directly online without needing a GP referral.

Diabetes Check — frequently asked questions
Do I need to fast before the Diabetes Check?
Yes — we recommend fasting for 8–10 hours beforehand (water is fine), as recent food and drink can affect cholesterol and glucose readings.
How quickly will I get my results?
Most results are ready within 2–5 working days and are uploaded to your secure MyScanHub portal once reviewed by a clinician.
How is the blood sample taken?
A trained phlebotomist takes a small venous blood sample from your arm at our Kent clinic. It's quick and carried out in a private, comfortable setting.
What happens if a result is outside the normal range?
Any result outside the usual reference range is clearly highlighted in your report. A blood test doesn't diagnose on its own, so we recommend discussing flagged results with a clinician — you can add a GP consultation to talk them through.
Do I need a GP referral to book?
No. You can book this blood test directly online — no GP referral is required. It's a one-off payment with no subscription.
