Our top pick for High blood pressure
Lab Test
Saliva Tests
GetTested’s Cortisol Test measures bioavailable and free cortisol on seven occasions during a day. Cortisol is released in response to physical or mental stress. Produced by the adrenal glands, cortisol boosts physical and mental performance under short-term stress. However, consistently high cortisol levels can harm your health, while too low levels can also be problematic. This test is particularly useful for individuals experiencing chronic stress, fatigue, or other stress-related symptoms.
Additionally, DHEA, another hormone influenced by stress, is commonly measured alongside cortisol for a comprehensive hormonal assessment. Our DHEA Saliva Test can further enhance understanding of your stress response and hormonal balance.
Rapid Test
Blood Tests
With GetTested’s HbA1C Diabetes Test, you can easily check your average blood sugar levels over time. This simple blood test assesses your glycated haemoglobin, providing a comprehensive indication of your blood sugar control over the past three months. Results are available in just 10 minutes.
If you’re looking for more continuous monitoring of your blood sugar, we recommend our Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM), which provides real-time data and a more detailed view of your blood sugar levels over a 2-week period. Another option is to combine this test with our Diabetes Test, which measures both ketones and glucose, offering a fuller picture of your diabetic health. We also offer a Diabetes HbA1c lab test that will give you your exact HbA1c value, as opposed to the rapid test that will only tell if you are within reference value or too high.
