What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained fatigue, or blurry vision, which can be signs of high blood sugar. It's also a smart choice if you have a family history of diabetes, are overweight, or just want to know your risk before symptoms show up. Many people with prediabetes or early diabetes have no symptoms at all, so testing is the only way to catch it early.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with each value explained alongside its normal range, so you know exactly where you stand. If your blood sugar score is elevated, simple next steps include cutting back on sugary foods and refined carbs, adding more movement to your day, and retesting in three to six months to track progress. If a result comes back dangerously high, seek medical care right away. You can also download a standard lab report anytime and use the trends feature to watch your numbers change over time.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone over 35, carrying extra weight, or with a family history of diabetes should consider this test as part of routine health checks. It's also useful if you've been told in the past that your blood sugar was borderline, or if you have symptoms like constant thirst, tiredness, or slow-healing cuts. People with high blood pressure or high cholesterol are also at higher risk and can benefit from knowing their diabetes risk score.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common warning signs include feeling thirsty all the time, needing to urinate more often, unusual fatigue, blurry vision, and cuts or bruises that heal slowly. Some people also notice unexplained weight loss or tingling in their hands and feet. Since these symptoms can develop slowly, many people don't notice them until blood sugar has been high for a while, which is why testing is helpful even without obvious symptoms.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your lab visit. Once ready, you'll be able to view them securely in your account and download a copy of your full lab report.

How can I naturally support healthy blood sugar levels?

Cutting back on sugary drinks, white bread, and processed snacks can make a big difference in blood sugar control. Regular physical activity, like a 30-minute walk most days, helps your body use sugar more efficiently. Eating more fiber-rich foods like vegetables, beans, and whole grains, along with getting enough sleep, also supports steadier blood sugar levels over time.

What does a high HbA1c result mean?

A high HbA1c means your average blood sugar has been running higher than normal over the past two to three months. Depending on how high it is, this can point to prediabetes or diabetes. It's a signal to look at diet, exercise, and weight, and to retest in a few months to see if changes are helping, or to seek medical care if the number is very high.

What causes high blood sugar levels?

High blood sugar is often caused by a combination of factors like eating a lot of sugar and refined carbs, being overweight, not getting enough physical activity, and genetics. Stress, poor sleep, and certain medications can also raise blood sugar. Sometimes the body's insulin isn't working as well as it should, which lets sugar build up in the blood instead of being used for energy.

How often should I retest my diabetes risk?

If your results are normal and you have no major risk factors, retesting once a year is usually enough. If you have prediabetes or your blood sugar is borderline, retesting every three to six months helps you track whether lifestyle changes are working. People with diagnosed diabetes often test even more frequently to monitor control.

What should I do if my results are abnormal?

If your score is higher than the normal range, start by reviewing your diet and cutting back on added sugars and refined carbs, increasing physical activity, and working on gradual weight loss if needed. Retest in a few months to see if these changes are lowering your numbers. If your result is very high or you feel unwell, seek medical care promptly.
