Diabetic Profile
A Profile For Diabetics
This Profile specially designed for Diabetics consists of :
# General health Profile
1. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)or (Glyco Hb)
2. Microalbuminuria
HbA1c (Glyco Hb)
– A very useful test reflecting blood glucose levels over a period of lat 10 -12 weeks.
Microalbuminuria
-A new test was performed on urine samples capable of detecting kidney complication
(nephropathy) very early.
Executive Health Profile
An annual check-up for everybody who is 40 plus.
This type of health care package consists of the following 43 important tests covering practically all the parts of your body including the thyroid.
- Blood Glucose Fasting

- Albumin Globulin Ratio
- Serum Calcium
- Serum Phosphorus
- Serum LDH
- Serum Cholesterol
- Serum Triglyceride
- Serum HDL Cholesterol
- Serum LDL Cholesterol
- Serum VLDL Cholesterol
- Total / HDL Cholesterol
- HDL / LDL Cholesterol
- Total Leukocyte Count

Comprehensive Profile
A profile is designed for diabetics having high blood pressure. People having this combination of diseases have a very risk of coronary artery disease (Heart Attack ). This type of health care package consists of the following.
#Executive Health Profile
1. Homocysteine
2. HbA1c
3. Microalbuminuria
Homocysteine: Homocysteine levels also have been found to correlate to the extent of atherosclerotic plaque in the aorta. Homocysteine van impairs the ability to repair vascular endothelial cell injury and thus promotes the development of atherosclerosis.
If you are interested
- You should come fasting (12 hours) i.e. without eating anything in the morning.
- You will have to submit a blood and a urine sample in the morning followed by another blood sample 2 hours after taking breakfast.
- Your report will be ready in the evening.
- You may contact your physician/family physician for interpretation and further investigation of an EGG.
