About this condition

What is diabetes?

Diabetes is a long-term metabolic illness marked by high blood glucose (blood sugar) levels. The most prevalent kind, type 2 diabetes, usually affects adults and is brought on by insufficient or resistant insulin production in the body. Type 2 diabetes has been far more common over the last three decades in all nations, regardless of wealth. It may produce serious damage to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves.

Diabetes type 1 is a chronic illness in which the pancreas generates little or no insulin on its own. It was formerly referred to as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes.

Because a single blood sugar reading only describes one moment, the mainstream Diabetics Profile pairs your blood sugar (glucose) result — fasting, random, or both — with HbA1c, which reflects your average blood sugar over the previous two to three months. The more comprehensive Diabetics Profile and Insulin adds fasting insulin for a fuller view of how hard your body is working to hold those numbers down.

Our one-stop solution for medical laboratory tests at home in Dubai integrates the clinical assessment, diagnosis, and treatment cycle anywhere in Dubai within minutes from your call.

Our focus is in on outstanding accuracy and clinical compliance coupled with fast availability and affordability. Our Lab services

What a diabetes test helps detect

One blood sample screens for:

  • Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes
  • Type 1 diabetes, where the pancreas makes little or no insulin
  • Whether blood sugar is properly managed on current treatment
  • Your two-to-three-month average blood sugar, through HbA1c
  • How your body reacts to a glucose load
Four ways to measure

A Diabetes Test: What Is It?

Diabetes tests are used to measure the amount of blood sugar, which can be done in 4 different ways.

Test HbA1C

Your average blood sugar levels over the previous three months are determined by the HbA1C test. Blood samples are taken for tests, and results are typically available in 24 hours. No fasting is needed, so an HbA1c sample can be collected at any hour we visit.

Fasting Blood Sugar Test

A minimum of eight hours of overnight fasting is necessary for a fasting blood sugar test, and the blood sample must be drawn in the morning before breakfast. Our team will offer you an early-morning slot so the fast is easy to keep.

Random Blood Sugar Level Test

Your blood sugar levels are measured during a random blood sugar (RBS) test. You can perform this task anytime during the day or night — which is why it pairs naturally with our 24/7 home collection.

Glucose Tolerance Test

A test for glucose tolerance gauges your body’s reaction to sugar. It entails fasting overnight, then consuming a glucose solution and having a blood test two hours later.

Blood Sugar / Glucose — fasting, random or bothHbA1c — your two-to-three-month averageInsulin — extended profile only
Indications that you might require a Blood Sugar Test

Experiencing symptoms such as excessive thirst (Polydipsia), frequent urination (Polyuria), intense hunger (Polyphagia), fatigue, unintentional weight loss, vision problems, slow healing, and the presence of sores and ulcers on the foot could indicate potential health concerns.

Excessive thirst

Polydipsia — thirst that does not settle, because excess glucose pulls water out of the body.

Frequent urination

Polyuria — passing urine far more often, including waking at night to go.

Intense hunger

Polyphagia — persistent hunger even after eating, because glucose is not reaching the cells.

Fatigue

Tiredness that rest does not fix, one of the most commonly missed early signals.

Unintentional weight loss

Losing weight without trying, as the body starts breaking down fat and muscle for fuel.

Vision problems

Blurred or fluctuating vision, caused by fluid shifts in the lens when glucose is high.

Slow healing

Cuts, grazes and infections that take much longer than usual to clear.

Sores and ulcers on the foot

Foot sores or ulcers, which need prompt medical attention rather than watchful waiting.

These symptoms, especially when occurring together, may be indicative of conditions such as diabetes. It is crucial to seek medical attention promptly for a thorough evaluation and diagnosis by diabetes test to address any underlying health issues.

Add to your basket

Order your diabetes test online

Prefer to order it yourself? Add the diabetics profile straight to your basket. It reports your blood sugar (glucose) together with HbA1c — a DHA-licensed nurse collects the sample at your home in Dubai and our accredited laboratory reports it, normally within 24 hours.

Diabetics Profile — 2 biomarkers
The mainstream diabetics profile: blood sugar / glucose together with HbA1c, your two-to-three-month average.
AED 149
Diabetics Profile and Insulin — 3 biomarkers
The extended version. Adds insulin for a more comprehensive view — some people opt into it.
AED 239

Basket prices are our published lab package prices. Both items are packages, so the AED 100 home collection fee does not apply. HbA1c needs no fasting; if your doctor has asked for a fasting blood sugar, our team will offer you an early-morning slot when you book.

Why this test matters

The Diabetes Test: Why Is It Done?

A blood sugar test can be done to determine the amount of glucose in your blood. It could be used to diagnose diabetes or to help diabetics monitor their blood sugar and insulin levels. You might be looking for: HbA1c Test

To diagnose diabetes and prediabetes

Blood glucose testing is the usual first step when diabetes is suspected, and HbA1c confirms the picture. Diagnosis is made by your doctor, who reads the numbers together with your symptoms — a single reading is a screen, never a verdict.

To check whether treatment is working

If you already live with diabetes, repeat testing shows whether your current medication, diet and activity are holding your levels where your doctor wants them, and flags frequent highs or lows.

To see the three-month picture, not one moment

A finger-prick or a single draw describes one instant. HbA1c reflects your average blood sugar over roughly the previous two to three months, which is why the mainstream profile reports both together.

To protect the heart, kidneys, eyes and nerves

Long-standing high glucose may produce serious damage to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Doctors often review a diabetes result alongside a lipid profile or a kidney profile.

Diabetes can be checked with four tests: HbA1c, fasting blood sugar, random blood sugar, and the glucose tolerance test.
HbA1c shows your average blood sugar over the past three months, while a fasting blood sugar test shows your level after at least 8 hours of fasting.
Fasting blood sugar and glucose tolerance tests require fasting. HbA1c and random blood sugar tests do not.
Yes. A DHA-licensed nurse collects your sample at home anywhere in Dubai, usually within 45 minutes of booking.
HbA1c and most diabetes test results are available within 24 hours, followed by a free doctor consultation.
The mainstream Diabetics Profile reports two biomarkers — blood sugar (glucose) and HbA1c. The extended Diabetics Profile and Insulin adds insulin as a third biomarker for a more comprehensive view.
The Diabetics Profile is AED 149 and the Diabetics Profile and Insulin is AED 239. Both are packages, so no separate home collection fee applies.
Excessive thirst, frequent urination, intense hunger, fatigue, unintentional weight loss, vision problems, slow healing, and sores or ulcers on the foot.
In type 1 diabetes the pancreas generates little or no insulin on its own. In type 2 diabetes, the most prevalent kind, the body produces insufficient insulin or resists the insulin it makes.
