A Diabetes Health Check package usually includes Blood Sugar, Plasma Glucose, Creatinine Serum, Uric Acid Serum, and HbA1c. Together, they give a complete picture of your sugar levels and kidney health.
If you’re at risk or already diabetic, doctors recommend testing every 3–6 months. For others, once a year is good to stay safe and catch early changes.
Costs vary depending on where you’re getting tested. A simple blood sugar test is cheaper, while a full diabetes package may cost more. Many labs also offer at-home options at affordable rates, such as LifeCell’s Ayushman Diabetes Care package.
Some tests, like fasting blood sugar, require you to avoid food or drinks (except water) for 8–10 hours. Always confirm with your lab before the test about the preparation needed before a diabetes test.
Yes! Some tests, such as those included in LifeCell’s Ayushman Diabetes Care package can be conveniently done at home. A certified phlebotomist visits your home, takes a blood sample, and you receive results within 14 hours. It’s convenient, especially for people who are sick or old, or those juggling multiple responsibilities.

Normal is below 5.7%. Between 5.7–6.4% indicates prediabetes, and 6.5% or higher confirms diabetes. Your report will clearly mention this.
Yes. You’ll need to fast overnight (8–10 hours) to get accurate blood sugar and plasma readings. HbA1c doesn’t need fasting, but is included in the same test.
There’s no separate test for the two, just different result ranges. HbA1c and Fasting Sugar indicate if your levels fall in the normal, prediabetic, or diabetic range
