Questions

Do I need to fast before this test?

Yes — please fast for 8–12 hours before your appointment for accurate glucose and lipid readings. Water is fine.

How often should I test while on GLP-1 medication?

Every 3 months is the general recommendation when starting GLP-1 therapy. Your doctor may adjust this based on your results and health status.

Can I book this even if my GLP-1 prescription is from abroad?

Yes — the monitoring panel is available independently of where your prescription was issued.

What happens if my results are out of range?

Book an online consult to review your results with a doctor who can advise on whether your medication dose needs adjusting or any follow-up is needed.
