CarbR® and CarbR® Lite are both diagnostic tests designed to assess your body's response to carbohydrate intake.

• CarbR®: This is the standard test, providing a comprehensive analysis of your glucose metabolism and insulin response, including HbA1c and cholesterol blood tests.

• CarbR® Lite: A streamlined version of the CarbR test, focusing on essential metrics for those seeking a quicker assessment. No bloods are included in this test, however, to be able to book, you must be able to provide results for HbA1c and cholesterol blood markers within the last 6 months. If you do not have these, you will need to upgrade to the CarbR test.

The primary difference lies in whether the test includes a blood test or not.

While at-home tests are generally safe, certain individuals should consult a healthcare professional before proceeding:

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women: Hormonal changes can affect test results.

• Individuals with bleeding disorders: To avoid complications during blood collection.

• Those who are suffering from an acute illness, such as the flu or a cold. Or have sustained a recent serious injury.
