Prediabetes screening

Prediabetes has no symptoms, and around a third of adults have it without knowing. It is also the one stage that can genuinely be reversed, which makes screening worth doing before anything feels wrong.

What's Involved

Blood testing — Fasting glucose and HbA1c to identify where you sit.
Risk assessment — Weight, blood pressure, family history, and lipids reviewed together.
Intervention — A concrete diet and activity plan, with repeat testing to show whether it is working.

When to Come In

Family history of diabetes — A parent or sibling with type 2 diabetes.
Overweight and inactive — The strongest modifiable risk factors.
Gestational diabetes — A history of diabetes during pregnancy.
