Diabetes Test (Glucose Profile)

A 3-parameter diabetes risk assessment panel available at 290 Kč through cz.unilabs.online, testing insulin, fasting glucose, and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) to determine diabetes or pre-diabetes status without a GP referral. HbA1c provides a 3-month average blood glucose picture, fasting glucose captures the current level, and insulin reveals insulin resistance before glucose even rises — making this the most sensitive early-warning combination available at this price point. Results within 3 business days. Rated 4.95/5. Recommended for those with symptoms (extreme thirst, frequent urination, fatigue), family history, or overweight.

Diabetes and pre-diabetes affect an estimated 10–12% of Czech adults, with many cases undiagnosed for years before complications develop. The Unilabs diabetes panel provides the three most clinically useful markers for assessing current glucose status and metabolic risk in a single fasting blood draw. Fasting glucose (blood sugar) is the most direct measure of glucose regulation at a single point in time. A fasting level above 5.6 mmol/L indicates pre-diabetes; above 7.0 mmol/L on two separate occasions indicates diabetes. HbA1c (glycated haemoglobin) reflects average blood glucose over the preceding 2–3 months, because glucose binds to haemoglobin in red blood cells proportionally to its concentration. It is unaffected by a single meal and provides a longer-term picture than fasting glucose. HbA1c above 48 mmol/mol (6.5%) indicates diabetes; 42–47 mmol/mol (6.0–6.4%) indicates pre-diabetes. Insulin level, combined with fasting glucose, allows calculation of the HOMA-IR index (Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance) — a validated measure of how much insulin is needed to maintain normal glucose levels. Elevated HOMA-IR in the presence of normal fasting glucose reveals insulin resistance before glucose rises, making this the most sensitive early warning signal in the panel. Fasting is required (8–12 hours, water permitted). Results within 3 business days.
