Lipids and HbA1c Blood Test
From £149 · Results within 24–48 hours · Open 7 days
About this test
Cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes share common pathophysiological roots in insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction, and frequently co-occur. This combined panel pairs standard lipid assessment with HbA1c (3-month average blood glucose), full blood count, and C-reactive protein, providing a rapid risk screen for the two most common preventable causes of premature death in the UK. High-sensitivity CRP identifies low-grade vascular inflammation that potentiates both cardiovascular and metabolic risk.
Note: Measures total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, non-HDL, CRP, high-sensitivity CRP, HbA1c, and full blood count.
What this test can detect
- Hypercholesterolaemia — elevated total or LDL cholesterol increasing cardiovascular risk
- Hypertriglyceridaemia — an independent cardiovascular risk factor and cause of pancreatitis
- Low HDL — reduced protective lipoprotein associated with metabolic syndrome
- Prediabetes and type 2 diabetes — elevated HbA1c enabling early intervention
- Elevated inflammatory cardiovascular risk — raised hs-CRP above 2 mg/L
Who should have this test?
- Adults over 40 seeking a rapid cardiovascular and metabolic risk screen
- Individuals with a family history of heart disease or type 2 diabetes
- Those with hypertension, obesity, or a sedentary lifestyle
- Anyone recently starting lipid-lowering or glucose-lowering medication requiring baseline assessment
