(Blood Glucose Screening)

Our Diabetes Monitoring (Blood Glucose Screening) can assist those recently diagnosed with the condition or those with higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.

This test will not confirm if you have diabetes; a high blood glucose reading only indicates there may be an issue. We recommend you speak with your GP for more specific testing.

Health Check Procedure

Your Pharmacist will take a small amount of blood from your fingertip, and apply it to the testing strip. They will then discuss your results with you, and provide a copy of the result and support information. The process should take around 1 minute.
