Diabetes Profile II – Blood Test in London

The Diabetes Profile II (SP12) is a comprehensive diabetes screening and monitoring test designed to assess blood sugar control, kidney health, and cardiovascular risk factors. By measuring glucose and HbA1c levels, this profile provides insight into both current and long-term blood sugar management, while additional blood and urine markers help evaluate kidney function and detect potential diabetes-related complications. Ideal for diabetes screening, ongoing monitoring, and metabolic health assessment, this test is available at Medical Diagnosis Victoria (MDX Victoria) in London, with results typically available within 4 hours.

Blood Sugar & Metabolic Health

Diabetes Profile II

This profile (SP12) provides a detailed assessment of blood sugar control and potential complications related to diabetes. Glucose and HbA1c tests measure current and long-term blood sugar levels, while renal and lipid markers help assess kidney function and cardiovascular risks associated with diabetes.

Why Choose This Test?

Symptom Investigation

This profile provides essential clarity if you are experiencing or managing:

  • Unexplained fatigue, thirst, or frequent urination
  • A known diagnosis of pre-diabetes or diabetes
  • Family history of metabolic syndrome
  • Concerns regarding kidney or cardiovascular risks

Comprehensive Biomarkers

It goes beyond a basic check-up by combining:

  • Short and long-term glucose markers (HbA1c)
  • Core kidney function metrics (Urea)
  • Detailed urinalysis to detect early kidney changes
  • A complete cardiovascular lipid and cholesterol profile

Actionable Insights

This detailed internal view empowers you to:

  • Monitor long-term blood sugar control accurately
  • Detect early signs of kidney involvement (nephropathy)
  • Assess direct cardiovascular and lipid risk factors
  • Guide dietary, lifestyle, or medicinal adjustments safely

Component Index

What Is Included?

This profile provides a multi-dimensional view of metabolic control, combining glucose tracking, lipid evaluations, and urinalysis.

Glycaemic Control

Evaluates immediate blood sugar levels and the average blood sugar control over the past 2 to 3 months.

Glucose (Fasting)
Glycated Haemoglobin (HbA1c)
Clinical focus:
Diagnosing pre-diabetes, diabetes, and monitoring long-term treatment efficacy.

Kidney Health & Urinalysis

Assesses kidney function via blood markers and checks for protein and abnormalities in the urine.

Urea
Urine: Protein Total
Urine Examination
Clinical focus:
Detecting diabetic nephropathy (kidney damage) early by measuring systemic waste filtration.

Lipid Profile & Cardiovascular

Evaluates cholesterol and triglycerides to assess cardiovascular risk, which is statistically higher in diabetics.

Cholesterol Total
HDL Cholesterol
LDL Cholesterol
Triglycerides
CHOL RISK FACTOR
Clinical focus:
Mapping arterial health and determining if lipid-lowering intervention is clinically necessary.

Understanding HbA1c and Organ Health in Diabetes

While a fasting glucose test shows your blood sugar at one exact moment, HbA1c provides a longer-term average of your glucose control over several months. Prolonged high blood sugar can damage blood vessels, which is why this profile crucially includes a Lipid Profile to monitor your cardiovascular risk, and Urinalysis (including Protein Total) to catch early microscopic signs of kidney strain before they develop into serious complications.

Pathology Reports

How To Read Your Laboratory Results

Your results will list your values alongside standard reference ranges. If a result falls outside the range (e.g., elevated HbA1c or abnormal lipid levels), it is noted for review. A single out-of-range value should be interpreted alongside your medical history and clinical examination.

Results Timeline: Results are typically available within 4 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to fast before the test?
Yes. Fasting for 8-12 hours is strictly required before the Diabetes Profile II to ensure accurate Fasting Glucose and Lipid measurements. You may drink plain water.
What samples are required?
This profile requires both a venous blood draw and a small urine sample, collected at the clinic during your appointment.
How quickly will I get my results?
Your comprehensive results are processed quickly and will be ready within 4 hours of sample collection.
Can I walk in, or do I need an appointment?
Because fasting is required, we highly recommend booking an early morning appointment online to minimise your fasting discomfort and guarantee priority service.
What should I do if my results are abnormal?
If your glucose, lipid, or kidney markers are outside the reference range, we strongly recommend booking a Private GP consultation with us to review them.
Is the phlebotomy fee included in the price?
No, the £21 phlebotomy service fee is separate and payable directly at the clinic.
Do I need a doctor’s referral for this profile?
No referral is needed. You can book this test independently to monitor your own metabolic and cardiovascular health.

Most Searched Online Questions About Diabetes Tests

What is the difference between HbA1c and a fasting glucose test?
Fasting glucose shows the amount of sugar in your blood at that exact moment. HbA1c measures how much sugar is attached to your red blood cells, giving an average over the past 2-3 months.
Why check kidneys and urine if I have high blood sugar?
Prolonged high blood sugar can damage the delicate filtering systems in your kidneys. Finding protein in your urine is often one of the earliest signs of this damage (diabetic nephropathy).
What is the “Cholesterol Risk Factor”?
It is usually a calculated ratio comparing your Total Cholesterol to your “good” HDL Cholesterol. It helps doctors predict your overall risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
Can I drink water while fasting?
Yes, you can and should drink plain water while fasting. Avoiding dehydration makes drawing your blood much easier.
