Metabolic Health

Learn what works for you and what doesn't

Healthy metabolism starts with steady glucose

Our Metabolic Health Assessment is designed to offer a comprehensive dive into how your body tackles glucose.

Even without abnormal readings of traditional markers of diabetes or pre-diabetic status, increased glucose variability (GV) and transiently raised blood glucose in non-diabetics is widely considered to be a potentially important risk factor for:

  • Increased risk of developing diabetes, or impaired glucose tolerance.
  • Increased systemic inflammation linked to arthritis and atherosclerosis.
  • Symptomatic low glucose post high glucose, causing daytime fatigue.
  • Future atherosclerotic heart and cerebrovascular disease, including dementia and stroke.
  • Possible premature ageing and wrinkles (glycosylation of collagen).
  • Increased BMI, due to insulin resistance.

The Metabolic Health Assessment is available for patients of all ages*.

Our top package includes the following:

  • MHA registration form, assisted by our team
  • Continuous glucose monitor (AKA CGM), fitted or assisted by our team
  • Daily log, added to your smartphone’s home screen
