Diabetes Testing

Our quick and convenient test helps assess your blood glucose levels and identify whether further investigation for diabetes or pre-diabetes may be needed.

The test is carried out in the pharmacy using a simple finger-prick blood sample, with results available within minutes.

At Barlborough Pharmacy, we offer private diabetes testing for patients in Barlborough and surrounding areas including Clowne, Bolsover, Chesterfield, Worksop and Eckington.

Why Get Tested for Diabetes?

Diabetes can develop gradually and many people may not notice symptoms in the early stages.

Common symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, tiredness, blurred vision and unexplained weight changes.

Early testing helps identify issues sooner, allowing for quicker lifestyle changes or referral for further medical assessment if needed.

Our diabetes test is a simple finger-prick blood test carried out in the pharmacy.

The sample is analysed in-house using our testing equipment, with results available during your appointment.

Once your results are ready, our pharmacy team will explain them clearly and advise on any next steps if required.
