Body Paragraph Title

What is diabetes screening?

Diabetes screening is a focused health check designed to detect elevated blood sugar levels that may indicate type 2 diabetes or a higher risk of developing the condition. Our Edgeware clinic uses a blood test to measure your blood sugar control over time and identify whether a formal diagnosis or monitoring plan is needed.

Our service centres on measuring average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months to give a reliable picture of your metabolic health. If you experience symptoms such as increased thirst, fatigue, or frequent urination—especially alongside risk factors like a family history, higher BMI, or an ageing profile—screening becomes particularly important. For related testing, you can also explore our Blood tests in Edgeware page for linked investigations and a broader testing panel, accessible here: Blood tests in Edgeware.
