Urine Dip Diabetes test kit

Why do I need to do this test? There are an estimated 1 million undiagnosed diabetics in the UK. Having diabetes means that your body cannot properly use sugar and starch (carbohydrates) from your diet because the pancreas is not producing enough of the regulating hormone insulin. As a result, glucose accumulates in the blood and tissues and can cause defects in various parts of the body. In Diabetes Glucose is also excreted in the urine which can be picked up by a simple urine test. Early diagnosis & treatment can help to prevent complications developing This test is a simple and easy way to screen for diabetes in the privacy of your own home
