What is a Glucose test?
The Better2Know glucose test measures blood sugar levels to identify whether you may have damaged kidneys or are at risk of diabetes. This is a test which helps in the diagnosis of diabetes, an increasingly common disease in people whose bodies are unable to metabolise sugars correctly. These sugars, or glucose, build up in the blood and ultimately can cause debilitating illness including the reduced circulation of blood leading to problems with eyesight, blood flow in the limbs and extremities, kidney problems and other issues.
You should consider our glucose test if you are concerned about diabetes and your kidney health.

What should I do if my test reveals I have raised blood glucose levels?
If your test results show that you have raised blood glucose levels and are at the stage described as pre-diabetic, you should see a doctor immediately. Medication can be prescribed to you, and further testing may be recommended to ensure the success of treatment. If you make certain lifestyle changes, it is possible to lower blood sugar levels. If your tests confirm that you may have diabetes, it is imperative that you seek further medical attention. Better2Know will be happy to arrange a further doctors consultation for you.
