Frequently asked questions

What should I expect from a diabetes screening at Mayfield Clinic Edinburgh?

At Mayfield Clinic Edinburgh, your diabetes screening begins with a consultation with one of our private GPs. If suitable, you'll have an HbA1c blood test to check your average blood sugar levels over the past two to three months. Your results are then explained in detail, and advice is offered on next steps, treatment, or monitoring.

Do you screen for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes in Edinburgh?

Yes, we offer diabetes checks for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. However, most routine screening and monitoring is for type 2 diabetes using an HbA1c test. If you have specific concerns or symptoms, our doctors can advise on the most appropriate tests for your needs.
