Why Patients Choose The Vesey for Private Diabetes Screening in Birmingham
Private diabetes screening checks whether your blood sugar is in the healthy range, or whether you have pre-diabetes or diabetes — often before any symptoms appear. The key test is HbA1c, which reflects your average blood sugar over the past two to three months.
Catching raised blood sugar early matters: pre-diabetes can often be reversed with lifestyle changes, and early-diagnosed diabetes is far easier to manage and protects against complications.
Understanding Your Result
HbA1c below 42 mmol/mol is normal, 42–47 indicates pre-diabetes, and 48 or above suggests diabetes (usually confirmed on a second test). A fasting glucose may be added.
Many people with early high blood sugar feel completely well, which is exactly why screening — especially if you have risk factors — is so worthwhile.
Who Should Be Screened?
Consider screening if you're over 40, overweight, have a family history of diabetes, high blood pressure, or are of South Asian, African or African-Caribbean background, or have symptoms such as increased thirst, frequent urination or fatigue.
At The Vesey, diabetes screening can be booked directly, on its own or within a health check.
