"I recently did your General Health Screen and the Diabetes Test showed that I have high blood sugar and potential diabetes. I did suspect this as I have had many of the symptoms. I ended up calling 111 and being sent to A&E. I have now been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Without your tests and advice, I dread to think what may have happened. The process of the test itself and the customer service afterwards has been fantastic. I’m so glad this service was available and enabled me to support my instincts and get the treatment I needed."
