Core Diabetes Health Check at Home in Dubai
Also known as: DIABETIC PROFILE, DIABETES PANEL, DIABETES HEALTH CHECK BASIC
Included
About the Package
The entry point for sugar control: fasting blood sugar and HbA1c with the estimated average glucose and TyG index, read alongside a full lipid profile. Twelve markers for AED 99, built as the cheapest honest answer to "is my sugar a problem?" — HbA1c gives the three-month average rather than a single morning snapshot, and the lipid profile is included because sugar and cholesterol risk travel together.
What is it? An entry-level diabetes blood test measuring fasting glucose, HbA1c, estimated average glucose, the TyG index and a full lipid profile.

Core Diabetes Health Check: purpose, preparation and results
Why take the Core Diabetes Health Check?
- A first check for prediabetes or diabetes risk, especially with a family history
- Routine three-monthly HbA1c monitoring if you already have diabetes
- Thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight change or persistent fatigue
How to prepare for the Core Diabetes Health Check
Fasting is required — no food for 10 to 12 hours before the draw; water is fine. Book a morning slot. If you take diabetes medication, ask your doctor whether to delay the morning dose until after the draw.
Understanding your Core Diabetes Health Check results
An HbA1c of 5.7 to 6.4 percent indicates prediabetes and 6.5 or above meets the diabetes threshold; fasting glucose of 5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L is the prediabetic range. A raised TyG index suggests insulin resistance even when both look acceptable. A BestDOC doctor confirms whether a repeat or referral is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Anything else? Ask on WhatsApp — we usually reply in three minutes.
No. Fasting insulin and the HOMA-IR score start at the Advanced tier, which also adds thyroid, vitamin D, B12, blood count, inflammation and the liver, kidney and electrolyte panels.
Fasting glucose is one moment; HbA1c reflects your average over roughly three months and is far harder to game with a single careful day. Together they show both the trend and today's control.
A diagnosis normally needs two abnormal results on separate days, or one abnormal result with clear symptoms. Treat a first raised value as a signal to confirm rather than a conclusion.
It includes fasting blood sugar, which is only accurate after 10 to 12 hours without food. Fasting keeps the metabolic markers reflecting your true baseline rather than a recent meal.
Reports are typically ready in about 24 hours and delivered on WhatsApp and email, with a doctor's review flagging anything outside the expected range.
