Glucose
Your blood sugar level at the moment of testing.
Why it matters
A snapshot of how your body is handling sugar right now.
Diabetes Status Comprehensive diabetes assessment requires evaluation across multiple metabolic markers. This panel measures fasting glucose to establish current blood sugar levels, HbA1C to track average glycaemic control, insulin levels to assess pancreatic function and insulin resistance, and C-Peptide to evaluate endogenous insulin production. Together, these biomarkers distinguish between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, identify insulin resistance patterns, and reveal pancreatic beta-cell capacity. This integrated approach enables precise diagnosis, accurate risk stratification, and targeted intervention planning. Whether screening for undiagnosed diabetes or optimising management in established cases, these four measurements provide the clinical clarity needed to guide personalised treatment protocols and prevent progression to serious complications.

A snapshot of how your body is handling sugar right now.
Your average blood sugar over the last few months.
Useful for understanding how your body handles sugar over time.
The hormone that helps move sugar from blood into cells.
Gives insight into how hard your body is working to keep sugar in check.
A by-product of insulin production.
Shows how much insulin your own body is making.
This panel reports biomarker data. It does not diagnose any condition. Your results should be reviewed alongside the advice of your GP or another qualified healthcare professional.

Symptoms tell you something is wrong. Tests tell you what. This panel measures the biomarkers that connect to how you actually feel — so you can act with evidence, not guesswork.
Diabetes Status results are typically delivered within 2 working days of the laboratory receiving your sample. You receive a plain English PDF report covering HbA1c, glucose, insulin and related metabolic markers.
The Diabetes Status panel requires a venous blood draw at a Chxhealth or partner clinic. The phlebotomy fee is included in the price. Choose our Lanchester clinic or one of our 50+ UK partner and pop-up clinics when you book.
Yes. Fasting glucose and insulin are part of the panel, so fast for 8 to 12 hours before the appointment, water only. HbA1c on its own does not require fasting but the rest of the panel does.
The panel suits people with a family history of type 2 diabetes, central weight gain, raised blood pressure, PCOS, or anyone wanting an early read on insulin resistance and metabolic health. It is also useful for monitoring lifestyle changes.
No. Chxhealth is a biomarker and genetic data provider. We do not diagnose, treat or prescribe. For medical advice, please speak to a qualified healthcare professional. Your report will show where your HbA1c and glucose values sit relative to the typical reference ranges used to categorise prediabetes and diabetes risk. Any out-of-range result should be discussed with your GP for diagnosis and clinical management.
