Lipid & Diabetes Monitoring Test in New Town, Kolkata
Three tests that people with diabetes or prediabetes repeat most often: fasting sugar, HbA1c (the two-to-three-month average) and the lipid profile. It is a follow-up package rather than a full checkup.
Who it is for
- People with diabetes or prediabetes, for regular follow-up
- Anyone on cholesterol-lowering medicine who also needs sugar checked
- Checking the effect of a change in diet, exercise or medicine
A package is a convenient bundle, not a substitute for a doctor's advice on which tests you need.
3 tests included (12 parameters)
