- Fasting venous blood draw plus urine sample at the Brno-Starý Lískovec collection room
- Fasting glucose
- HbA1c (glycated haemoglobin)
- Urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR)
- Results typically within 24 hours
A focused diabetes-screening package combining three complementary markers: fasting glucose (a snapshot of current blood sugar), HbA1c (average blood sugar over the past two to three months) and the urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR), an early indicator of kidney involvement. Together they screen both for diabetes and for one of its earliest complications. Drawn fasting with a urine sample at the ISO 15189-accredited Brno-Starý Lískovec laboratory, results usually within 24 hours.
About this treatment
Diabetes is a self-pay package that screens for disordered carbohydrate metabolism using three markers that look at the problem from different angles. Fasting glucose captures the blood-sugar level at the moment of the draw; glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) reflects the average blood-glucose concentration over roughly the previous two to three months and so smooths out day-to-day variation; and the urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) detects small amounts…
The package suits people with risk factors for type 2 diabetes — family history, overweight, sedentary lifestyle — or anyone who simply wants to confirm their blood sugar is well controlled. Because glucose is sensitive to recent food, the blood portion must be taken fasting (nalačno): no food and no sweetened or alcoholic drinks for 12 hours beforehand, and not after a night shift. A urine sample is also required for the ACR; deliver any urine specimen…
Results are typically available within 24 hours, collected in person against signature and ID or via secure electronic delivery arranged at the collection room. The HbA1c reading is especially useful because it is unaffected by what you ate that morning, while the ACR can prompt earlier attention to kidney protection if it is raised. A result suggesting impaired glucose handling should be reviewed with a physician, who can confirm a diagnosis and advise…

Biomarkers tested
7A byproduct of insulin production, released in equal amounts to insulin. C-peptide measures how much insulin your pancreas is producing, helping distinguish between type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
If you have diabetes your body doesn't process glucose effectively.
A hormone produced by the pancreas that helps to control blood glucose levels and plays a role in controlling the levels of carbohydrates and fats stored in the body.
Blood sugar — the body's primary energy source. Fasting glucose screens for diabetes and prediabetes. Chronically elevated glucose damages blood vessels and organs. Levels fluctuate with meals, stress, and physical activity.
Reflects your average blood sugar over the past 2–3 months by measuring the percentage of hemoglobin with attached glucose. HbA1c is the gold standard for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes, unaffected by daily fluctuations.
Calculated score assessing insulin resistance based on fasting glucose and insulin levels.
The hormone produced by the pancreas to regulate blood sugar. Elevated fasting insulin — even with normal glucose — is an early marker of insulin resistance, which precedes type 2 diabetes by years. Key biomarker in longevity medicine.
