This is where The Slimming Clinic HbA1c diabetes at home test can help. The best part? You can order it today and have results and, more importantly, resolutions delivered back to by a GMC-registered doctor within just a couple of weeks. One of the first things you can do in the process is assess your symptoms and risks of developing type 2 diabetes.  

What Are The Symptoms and Risks Of Type 2 Diabetes?

The symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes vary from person-to-person, but find out if you have any of the risks or symptoms with our risk and symptom checker below:

  Do you suffer from 3 or more of those symptoms and risks? Then you could be at risk, or already living with undiagnosed, type 2 diabetes. The only way to know if these are Type 2 Diabetes symptoms is to order our HbA1c test kit and find out for sure.  

What Are The Complications of Type 2 Diabetes?

Having type 2 diabetes puts you at a much higher risk of a number of health complications.
