Early diabetes risk assessment measuring fasting glucose and long-term blood sugar control. Blood sample after 12-hour fast. Results within 2-3 days. Critical for early detection before progression to type 2 diabetes when lifestyle interventions are most effective. Biomarkers tested: Fasting Glucose - immediate blood sugar level after overnight fast, normal <100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L), prediabetes 100-125 mg/dL, diabetes ≥126 mg/dL on two separate tests; HbA1c (Glycated Hemoglobin) - 2-3 month average blood sugar reflected in glucose-coated hemoglobin, normal <5.7%, prediabetes 5.7-6.4%, diabetes ≥6.5%, superior to single glucose measurement for diabetes screening. Risk factors for diabetes include: family history, overweight/obesity (BMI >25), sedentary lifestyle, age >45, history of gestational diabetes, PCOS, high blood pressure (>140/90), abnormal cholesterol (HDL <35 or triglycerides >250), prediabetes history. Symptoms of high blood sugar: increased thirst and urination, unexplained weight loss, blurred vision, slow-healing wounds, frequent infections, tingling hands/feet. Price includes blood draw and 19% VAT. Early intervention with diet, exercise, and weight loss can prevent or reverse prediabetes. Recommended annual testing for high-risk individuals, every 3 years for adults 45+.
Diabetes and metabolic screening tests measure how well your body processes glucose — your primary fuel source. Fasting glucose gives a snapshot of your blood sugar after an overnight fast, while HbA1c reveals your average blood sugar over the past 2–3 months by measuring the percentage of hemoglobin proteins coated with sugar. An insulin test can detect insulin resistance — where your cells stop responding efficiently to insulin — often years before blood sugar levels rise into the diabetic range. This early detection window is critical because prediabetes and insulin resistance are reversible with lifestyle changes, while advanced type 2 diabetes requires lifelong management.
Key Details
Who Is This For?
Adults over 35 as part of routine screening (diabetes affects 1 in 10 adults globally). Anyone with a family history of type 2 diabetes. People who are overweight or physically inactive. Those experiencing increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, or fatigue. Women with a history of gestational diabetes or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
What's Included
Preparation Required
Fasting for 10–12 hours before your appointment is recommended for accurate results (water is fine). Avoid alcohol for 24 hours and intense exercise for 12 hours before the blood draw. Morning appointments are ideal for consistent hormone and glucose readings. The blood draw typically takes 5–10 minutes.

Basis-Check
$74Comprehensive basic health screening for early detection of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and metabolic disorders. Venous blood sample with fasting required (12+ hours). Results within 2-3 days via email. Online appointment booking available. Must be 18+ years old. Biomarkers tested: Hematology - Complete Blood Count (CBC) detecting anemia, inflammation, infection with RBC, WBC, hemoglobin, hematocyt, platelets, differential count; Diabetes - HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin) reflecting 2-3 month average blood sugar, gold standard for diabetes screening; Lipid Panel - total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol ("bad" cholesterol), HDL cholesterol ("good" cholesterol), triglycerides, non-HDL cholesterol for cardiovascular risk assessment; Kidney Function - creatinine, estimated GFR (glomerular filtration rate), sodium, potassium, calcium evaluating kidney filtration and electrolyte balance; Liver - GPT/ALT (alanine transaminase) enzyme indicating liver and gallbladder health; Thyroid - TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) detecting hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism affecting metabolism and energy. Price includes blood draw and 19% VAT. Preparation: discontinue supplements 24 hours prior, bring medication list, fasting required. Provides comprehensive overview of body function and metabolic health, ideal for establishing health baseline or regular monitoring.
Fitness-Check
$143Comprehensive blood analysis for athletic performance optimization and physical capacity assessment. Venous blood sample after 12-hour fast. Results within 1 day via email. Designed for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone monitoring physical performance. Biomarkers tested: Hematology & Oxygen Transport - Complete Blood Count (großes Blutbild) with reticulocytes (young red blood cells indicating bone marrow activity), RBC, hemoglobin, hematocrit assessing oxygen-carrying capacity crucial for endurance; Iron Status - ferritin (iron storage) detecting iron deficiency before anemia develops, critical for athletes with high iron demand; Liver Enzymes - GPT/ALT, GOT/AST, GGT (gamma-glutamyltransferase) monitoring training stress, muscle damage, liver function; Kidney Function - creatinine, estimated GFR evaluating hydration status, protein metabolism, training impact on kidneys; Lipid Profile - total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, non-HDL cholesterol for cardiovascular health and metabolic efficiency; Thyroid - TSH excluding thyroid dysfunction affecting metabolic rate, energy levels, recovery; Minerals & Vitamins - Vitamin D3 (25-OH) essential for muscle strength, bone health, immune function, inflammation control; Magnesium for energy production (ATP synthesis), muscle function, cramping prevention, electrolyte balance; Calcium for muscle contraction, bone density, nerve signaling; Metabolic Health - HbA1c screening for diabetes risk and blood sugar regulation. Price includes blood draw and 19% VAT. Identifies performance-limiting factors, nutrient deficiencies, overtraining markers. Ideal for optimizing training, preventing injuries, monitoring recovery.
Nährstoffmangel-Check
$198Comprehensive nutrient deficiency screening identifying vitamin, mineral, and trace element imbalances causing fatigue, weakness, and immune dysfunction. Venous blood sample with 12-hour fasting required. Results within 7-10 days. Particularly valuable for vegans, vegetarians, pregnant women, athletes, individuals with digestive disorders, or those experiencing unexplained fatigue. Biomarkers tested: Hematology - Small Blood Count (kleines Blutbild) baseline assessment for nutrient-related anemia; Iron Status - Ferritin measuring iron stores, low levels cause fatigue, hair loss, cold sensitivity, impaired cognitive function; B Vitamins - Folate (Vitamin B9) essential for DNA synthesis, cell division, pregnancy health, nervous system; Active Vitamin B12 (Holotranscobalamin) measuring bioavailable B12 (not total B12), crucial for energy, red blood cell formation, neurological function, often deficient in vegans; Fat-Soluble Vitamins - Vitamin D3 (25-OH) for bone health, immune function, mood regulation, muscle strength, extremely common deficiency in Northern Europe October-March; Calcium for bone density, muscle contraction, nerve transmission, works synergistically with vitamin D; Trace Elements - Zinc for immune function, wound healing, protein synthesis, taste/smell, testosterone production, often deficient in vegetarians; Selenium antioxidant supporting thyroid function, immune system, fertility, cognitive function; Magnesium for 300+ enzymatic reactions, energy metabolism, muscle relaxation, stress response, sleep quality. Price includes blood draw and 19% VAT. Results help optimize supplementation strategy, dietary modifications, address root causes of chronic fatigue, frequent infections, poor recovery. Recommended testing 2-4 times yearly to track improvements.
PSA-Test Prostata
$29Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test for early detection of prostate issues including benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer. Single biomarker blood test. Results within 2-3 days. Recommended for men over 45, or earlier with family history of prostate cancer. Biomarker tested: PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) - protein produced by prostate gland, elevated levels may indicate prostate enlargement, inflammation (prostatitis), or cancer. Normal ranges: <4 ng/mL generally normal; 4-10 ng/mL borderline requiring further evaluation; >10 ng/mL higher concern warranting urological consultation. Important notes: PSA can be temporarily elevated by ejaculation (abstain 48 hours before test), cycling, prostate examination, urinary tract infection. Low PSA doesn't completely rule out cancer. Test is screening tool, not diagnostic - elevated levels require follow-up with urologist for digital rectal exam, MRI, or biopsy. Price includes blood draw and 19% VAT. Annual testing recommended for men 50+, starting at 45 with family history or African ancestry. Early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes.
