Below are some symptoms of pre-diabetes that should be looked out for:
Increased thirst: Feeling constantly thirsty and needing to drink more water than usual can be a symptom of pre-diabetes. This is because high blood sugar levels can cause your body to lose more fluids through urination, leaving you feeling dehydrated.
Fatigue: Pre-diabetes can cause fatigue or low energy levels, as your body may struggle to convert glucose into energy effectively.
Frequent urination: Pre-diabetes can cause your body to produce more urine than usual, leading to more frequent trips to the bathroom.
Increased hunger: As pre-diabetes can cause insulin resistance, your body may struggle to process glucose effectively, leading to increased hunger and cravings for sugary or carbohydrate-rich foods.
Blurred vision: High blood sugar levels can cause fluid to build up in the lenses of your eyes, leading to blurred vision or even temporary vision loss.
Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet: Over time, high blood sugar levels can damage the nerves in your extremities, leading to numbness or tingling sensations in the hands or feet.
If you have diabetes or are at risk for diabetes, our HbA1c test can be an essential part of your healthcare routine. It’s important to work closely with your doctor to understand your individual needs and goals, and to develop a comprehensive diabetes management plan that works for you.
With our HbA1c blood test, you can take control of your diabetes management and stay on top of your health.

What Is Tested?
You’ll see exactly what we’re looking at below
HbA1c, or glycated hemoglobin, is a blood test that measures the average blood sugar level over a period of two to three months. This test is commonly used to diagnose and monitor type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The HbA1c test is important because it provides a long-term snapshot of how well blood sugar levels have been managed over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
Once you set some dedicated time aside and follow the instructions, it’s very easy.
At HHC HQ (mouthful), we’ve all done these tests plenty of times so we’re quite experienced at it, but we have bullied our friends and family into it as well to make sure the instructions are as clear and informative as they need to be. If you’ve any questions on it, just give us a buzz on 01-9012000.
The lab we use is fully accredited and has worked alongside partners in releasing various papers indicating proven accuracy of capillary (fingerprick) samples. We only offer tests that meet rigorous quality control checks and make the final cut. There are tests out there we would love to be able to offer on fingerprick samples but they just aren’t suited for it. Your health and wellbeing is the driving force in our success and motivation – we will not compromise on that.
No! You absolutely still need to work alongside your doctor in managing your health – especially when it comes to chronic illness. What we’re aiming to do is lighten the load on Ireland’s GP network by offering a screening stage for your general wellness. If you want to take the first step in getting a better grip on your own health, one of the HHC Home Wellness kits is the perfect place to start.
Most of our finger-prick tests will usually be resulted within a day or two from our wonderful lab. If you factor in some travel time from the sample coming from you to us in Maynooth, then Maynooth to the lab in the UK, we’re typically talking around 5 working days.
Yes, very much so. Everyone in HHC comes from a background in either Healthcare and Technology, so we understand the importance of data integrity. We have multiple layers of security throughout our entire business to ensure your data is kept as safe as it can be. If you have any specific questions here, drop us a mail on info@hhc.ie.
