To ensure a smooth and stress-free experience, we recommend planning ahead and booking a consultation with a medical tourism doctor who can help arrange and prepare for your screening.
How will I receive my results?

How do you get tested for diabetes?
Diabetes screening involves a blood test to measure glucose levels. During the test, a specialist will place a tight band around your upper arm to slow blood flow. Then, a small needle is inserted into a vein, and a vial is used to collect the blood sample. The process is quick and typically painless.
Do I need to fast before a diabetes screening?
Some tests require fasting for 8 to 12 hours before the screening. You can drink water, but no food or sugary beverages. Your specialist will provide detailed instructions based on the specific test you are taking.
