Early detection of pre‑diabetes or Type 2 diabetes can dramatically improve outcomes. At Park View Pharmacy, our private Diabetes Screening service offers a quick finger‑prick HbA1c test, personalised risk assessment and tailored lifestyle advice — no appointment needed.
What Is Diabetes Screening?
Diabetes screening measures your blood sugar over the past 2–3 months (HbA1c) to identify elevated risk before symptoms develop. The NHS recommends routine screening for adults aged 40–74 via an NHS Health Check, but anyone can book privately with us for convenience.
For official NHS guidance, visit the NHS page on diabetes risk and screening.
Who Is Eligible for Free NHS Screening?
You may qualify for an NHS Health Check (including diabetes screening) if you:
• Are aged 40–74 and registered with a GP in England
• Are from a high‑risk ethnic group (South Asian, African, Caribbean) aged 25+
• Have a family history of Type 2 diabetes
Learn more on the NHS Health Checks page.
Benefits of Early Detection
✔ Identify pre‑diabetes before symptoms arise
