Frequently Asked Questions

What does a blood glucose test check?
It measures the amount of sugar in your blood. This helps show whether your levels are in a healthy range or whether you may be at risk of diabetes.
A quick finger prick is used to collect a small drop of blood, and the result is usually ready within a few minutes.
For some glucose tests you may be asked not to eat for several hours beforehand. We will confirm any preparation when you book.
It is worth considering if you are over 40, are overweight, have a family history of diabetes, or have symptoms such as feeling very thirsty, passing urine more often or feeling unusually tired.
Our pharmacist will explain your result and, where needed, recommend you see your GP for further tests to confirm whether you have diabetes.
