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

Glucose is like fuel for your body's cellular engine - every cell depends on this simple sugar to function properly. Think of your pancreas as a smart control center that releases insulin to help cells absorb glucose when levels rise, keeping your blood sugar in a healthy range for steady energy throughout the day. When this sophisticated fuel management system works smoothly, you feel energized and your body hums along efficiently.

However, when glucose levels consistently run too high, it often signals diabetes or prediabetes - conditions where your body either doesn't make enough insulin or can't use it effectively. This glucose testing is one of the most important health screenings because diabetes often develops silently, with many people having elevated blood sugar for years before noticing symptoms. Catching high glucose early gives you the power to take action and potentially prevent or delay Type 2 diabetes and serious complications like heart disease, kidney damage, and vision problems - making this simple test a window into your long-term health.

Symptoms

Essential for adults over 35, those with family history of diabetes, overweight individuals, and people with cardiovascular disease. Important for anyone experiencing symptoms like excessive thirst, frequent urination, unexplained fatigue, or slow wound healing. Valuable for routine health screening and monitoring known diabetes or prediabetes.

Questions

  • Fasting glucose measures blood sugar after 8-12 hours without food, providing baseline levels. Random glucose can be taken anytime but is less reliable for diagnosis unless significantly elevated with symptoms.
  • For diabetes screening in healthy adults, every 3 years after age 35. More frequent testing needed if you have risk factors, prediabetes, or diabetes. People with diabetes may need daily testing depending on treatment.
  • Yes, many medications including steroids, diuretics, beta-blockers, and some antidepressants can affect blood glucose levels. Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications you're taking.
  • A single high reading doesn't necessarily mean diabetes - it should be confirmed with repeat testing. However, discuss results with your healthcare provider promptly for proper evaluation and potential treatment.
  • Early detection allows for intervention that can prevent or delay Type 2 diabetes complications, reduce cardiovascular risk, and maintain better quality of life through proper management.
  • Yes, physical stress, illness, or emotional stress can temporarily raise glucose levels. It's best to test when you're feeling well for most accurate baseline results.

How to prepare

Fasting for 8-12 hours required for fasting glucose test (water only). For random glucose, no fasting needed but note time since last meal. Avoid stress and illness when possible as these can affect results. Continue usual medications unless specifically advised otherwise by your healthcare provider.

After the test

Discuss elevated results with your healthcare provider immediately. Prediabetes requires lifestyle intervention including diet modification, exercise, and weight management. Diabetes diagnosis requires comprehensive management including medication, blood sugar monitoring, and regular medical care. Follow-up testing includes HbA1c for long-term glucose control assessment and monitoring for diabetes complications.

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

Fasting glucose: Normal <5.6 mmol/L (<100 mg/dL); Prediabetes 5.6-6.9 mmol/L (100-125 mg/dL); Diabetes ≥7.0 mmol/L (≥126 mg/dL). Random glucose: Diabetes ≥11.1 mmol/L (≥200 mg/dL) with symptoms. Single abnormal result should be confirmed with repeat testing. Results interpreted based on fasting status, symptoms, and clinical context.

If your test needs fasting, we’ll include that in your instructions after you order. Fasting usually means no food for 8–12 hours, but water is fine.
