Why Is Diabetes Screening Important?
Diabetes can affect multiple organs over time, including the kidneys, heart, nerves, eyes and blood vessels. Regular screening helps identify abnormal blood sugar levels and monitor health parameters that may be affected by diabetes. Early identification of elevated blood sugar can support timely lifestyle changes, medical evaluation and ongoing management.
All 64 Tests Included
Tap each profile to see the individual tests it covers.
Complete Blood Count (CBC) 28 parameters
A detailed assessment of haemoglobin, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelet count and indices. It can help identify anaemia, infection and other blood-related abnormalities.
Diabetic Profile 2 tests
HbA1c gives an estimate of average blood glucose over the previous 2 to 3 months and is widely used in diabetes diagnosis and monitoring.
Renal Profile 3 tests
These tests help evaluate kidney function, which is particularly important for people with diabetes.
Lipid Profile 6 tests
Monitoring cholesterol is an important part of cardiovascular risk assessment.
Liver Function Profile 12 tests
These help assess liver health and function. See our liver function test details.
Vitamin Assessment 2 tests
Vitamin D3 supports bone, muscle and immune health. Vitamin B12 supports nerve function and red blood cell production; long-term use of certain medications, including metformin, may be associated with reduced B12 in some people.
Urine Testing 2 tests
Microalbumin testing helps identify small amounts of albumin in the urine, which may be an early sign of kidney involvement in diabetes.
Doctor Consultation included
Your results are reviewed and explained by a general physician, who can recommend further evaluation or diabetes treatment if required. You can also book an online diabetologist consultation.
Understanding Key Diabetes Tests
HbA1c
HbA1c reflects average blood glucose over approximately three months and is one of the most commonly used tests for diabetes screening and monitoring.
| HbA1c Result | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Below 5.7% | Normal |
| 5.7% to 6.4% | Prediabetes |
| 6.5% or above | Diabetes* |
*Diagnosis should always be confirmed and interpreted by a healthcare professional.
Urine Microalbumin & Vitamin B12
Microalbumin testing helps identify early changes in kidney health before more significant problems develop, which is particularly useful for people with diabetes and hypertension. Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause fatigue, tingling or numbness in the hands and feet, difficulty concentrating and weakness; testing helps decide whether supplementation or further evaluation is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who should undergo a diabetic health check-up?
This package is suitable for individuals with diabetes, prediabetes, a family history of diabetes, or other risk factors such as obesity and high blood pressure.
What is the difference between fasting blood sugar and HbA1c?
Fasting blood sugar measures glucose levels at a specific point in time, while HbA1c reflects average blood glucose levels over the previous 2 to 3 months.
Is fasting required before the test?
Yes. An overnight fast of 8 to 12 hours is usually recommended for accurate blood sugar and lipid profile testing.
What does the urine microalbumin test detect?
It helps identify small amounts of albumin in the urine, which may indicate early kidney involvement.
Can this package help detect prediabetes?
Yes. HbA1c and fasting blood sugar testing may help identify blood glucose levels that fall within the prediabetes range.
How often should people with diabetes have an HbA1c test?
The frequency varies by individual. Many people with diabetes undergo HbA1c testing every 3 to 6 months, as advised by their doctor.
Why is vitamin B12 testing included?
Some people with diabetes, particularly those taking metformin for extended periods, may be at increased risk of vitamin B12 deficiency.
Does this package include insulin testing?
No. This package does not include insulin level testing. Additional investigations can be arranged if clinically indicated.
Can this package diagnose Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes?
The package can help identify diabetes, but additional clinical assessment and specialised tests may be required to determine the specific type.

No. Diabetic eye screening requires specialised ophthalmic evaluation and is not included in this package.
What happens if my HbA1c result is high?
