Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.

"I'm a little biased as I work here! However, I love that The Bloody Good Test tracks my health over time. After turning 40, I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to drop dead from something basic I should have known about earlier. Measuring all my core biomarkers each year gives me peace of mind my health is on the right track"

Overview

Think of the Fasting Glucose test as your body's energy meter – it measures how well your internal fuel system is working after you've been "running on empty" overnight. Just like checking your car's engine performance, this test reveals how efficiently your body manages blood sugar, which is your cells' primary fuel source. After fasting for 8-12 hours, your blood is tested to see how well your body maintains steady glucose levels without food coming in, giving doctors a clear picture of your metabolic health.

This simple blood test is incredibly valuable because it can catch problems before they become serious health issues. When your results are higher than normal, it might indicate pre-diabetes or diabetes – conditions where your body struggles to keep blood sugar in the healthy zone. This early warning system is especially important if you've been experiencing symptoms like constant thirst, frequent bathroom trips, or unexplained fatigue, or if you have risk factors like family history of diabetes or being over 45. By identifying these issues early, you and your healthcare provider can take steps to prevent or manage diabetes, protecting you from complications that affect your heart, nerves, and overall well-being.

Symptoms

Essential for individuals with diabetes risk factors, metabolic symptoms, family history, or anyone needing comprehensive glucose and metabolic health assessment.

Questions

  • Fasting glucose measures blood sugar after not eating for 8-12 hours; it's the primary test for diagnosing diabetes and pre-diabetes.
  • Normal is <5.6 mmol/L, pre-diabetes is 5.6-6.9 mmol/L, and diabetes is ≥7.0 mmol/L on two separate occasions.
  • Symptoms may include excessive thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, blurred vision, slow wound healing, and unexplained weight loss.
  • Type 1 is autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing cells; Type 2 is insulin resistance often related to obesity, genetics, and lifestyle factors.
  • Through maintaining healthy weight, regular exercise, balanced diet, limiting processed foods, and managing other health conditions.
  • Complications include heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, nerve damage, eye problems, and poor wound healing.

How to prepare

Fast for 8-12 hours before testing. Take sample before 10am. Drink only water during fasting period. Avoid training 24-48 hours prior to test.

After the test

Address abnormal glucose through lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, exercise, weight management, and diabetes medications if indicated. Work with endocrinologists for diabetes management.

Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.

Understanding results

Results show fasting glucose levels compared to normal ranges. Elevated levels may indicate pre-diabetes or diabetes requiring lifestyle changes, monitoring, or medical treatment.
