Prediabetes / Diabetes Screening Test

This test is only for adults aged 18 and older. Unfortunately, this test is not available in the state of New York due to state regulations.

Proactively discovering you are prediabetic can give you an opportunity to make healthy lifestyle changes to help you avoid type 2 diabetes and its more severe life-changing symptoms. Read more about how to reverse prediabetes.

Prediabetes is characterized by elevated blood sugar metrics like Hemoglobin A1c and fasting plasma glucose levels. Those with prediabetes will have higher levels than normal, but not high enough to indicate a diagnosis of diabetes. Most people who get diagnosed with type 2 diabetes were initially prediabetic, possibly for years, without ever knowing it. Read more about prediabetes.

This test measures both hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and glucose levels over the last 2-3 months to help identify your likelihood of having or developing type 1 or type 2 diabetes. If this is your first test and you find that your glucose and hbA1c levels are unusually high, you can use your results report to engage with a medical professional.

There are a multitude of risk factors for diabetes, so this test is ideal for those who:

• Do little to no exercise
• Have a high sugar/red meat and low whole grain/vegetable diet  
• Have poor sleeping habits (less than 8 hours a day)
• Are 45+ 
• Are of Latino, Indigenous, Black, or Pacific Islander heritage 
• Are already showing signs of elevated cholesterol and triglycerides
• Are exhibiting signs of insulin resistance and abnormal blood sugar readings
• Are experiencing excessive thirst or urination

This test is also ideal for those who are currently prediabetic and need to monitor their HbA1c and glucose levels to gain visibility on reversing prediabetes. Read more about how to reverse prediabetes.
