CarbR® Metabolic Health Test

Worried about your blood sugar? Don’t wait until it’s too late.

Over 1 in 3 adults over 40 in the UK are living with undiagnosed metabolic health problems that can lead to Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, or stroke.

But the good news? You can take control – right now – from the comfort of your own home with the CarbR® Metabolic Health Test from SCVC and MedicalSpace.

What is the CarbR® Test?

CarbR® (carbohydrate resilience) is a medical-grade test that helps you and your doctor understand your metabolic health – and what that means for your weight, blood sugar, and long-term risk of chronic disease. It combines:

  • A 14-day Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) — easy to use, worn discreetly on your arm, track your blood sugar day and night in real time
  • A painless blood test using innovative TAP Micro technology
  • HbA1c and Lipid Panel results to assess blood sugar status and cardiovascular risk
  • Lifestyle tracking app to log meals, sleep, and activity for deeper insights
  • A personalised clinical report from SCVC health professionals – no guesswork, just clear diagnostic analysis and guidance from clinical experts
  • Convenient Home Delivery or Click & Collect – with online ordering via MedicalSpace

Why test your metabolic health?

Even if you feel fine, your body could be struggling to manage your intake of carbohydrate. Early warning signs often go unnoticed until serious conditions develop. This test is ideal if you are over 18 and meet any of the following criteria:

  • Have coronary heart disease or prediabetes
  • Have a family history of diabetes or heart disease
  • Struggle to manage your weight
  • Want to improve your long-term health

Why should you care?

Unchecked metabolic health issues can lead to:

  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Heart disease
  • Stroke
  • Dementia
  • Fatigue, inflammation and poor quality of life

A CarbR® Metabolic Health Test can help detect modifiable risk factors early – and enable effective prevention.

Who can benefit from CarbR®?

  • Heart patients
    If you have already developed heart disease, CarbR® can reveal how poor glucose control may be contributing to your condition.
  • Pre-diabetic and health-conscious adults
    Through clinician feedback and education, learn how to prevent blood sugar spikes by diet and lifestyle changes.
  • Anyone struggling with weight gain
    CarbR® helps uncover hidden glucose intolerance or carbohydrate sensitivity. Need more support? We can refer you to weight specialists, dieticians, nutritionists, and psychologists.
  • Exercise enthusiasts
    See how your workouts affect your glucose – and tailor your training and nutrition for better energy and results. Optional connection to specialist fitness coaches available.
  • Repeat testers
