Introducing the carbohydrate resilience (CarbR®) test: understand and potentially improve your metabolic health

CarbR® is a medical-grade test designed for most non-diabetic or pre-diabetic adults, with few contra-indications (eg. low BMI, certain medical conditions or medications).

Why CarbR®?

Type 2 diabetes and increasing BMI are increasing, in part due to lifestyle and food choices.
Glucose dysregulation and unhealthy weight gain are important modifiable risk factors for future heart disease, therefore identifying issues before heart disease develops is an attractive prevention strategy
By collecting together information about your food and lifestyle choices, BMI knowledge of risk factors family history and glucose and blood lipid profile, the medical team can advise on your personal risk
Self-refer: not all people have access to medical clinics with expertise in ordering and interpreting CGM readings; CarbR test has been set up with sufficient medical oversight for self referrals.
Referral screening: by a medical doctor, to assess appropriateness of the test
Biometrics: because CarbR also collects weight, height and waist measurements, blood glucose interpretation can be provided in context of BMI and other key factors.
14 days of a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM): tracks your glucose responses to food intake in real time.
Lifestyle Tracking App: log meals, exercise, and sleep patterns to see how daily habits affect your glucose response.
HbA1c Blood Test: this defines whether you are non diabetic, pre diabetic or type 2 diabetic
Lipid Panel: Total Cholesterol, HDL Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol and ratio which are all key risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.

What do you need to complete the CarbR test?

Before we can accept and process your order, you will need to complete our online CarbR Eligibility form. We will then pass the form to your chosen medical clinic for the medical team to confirm whether this test is appropriate. Once approved, we will then email you with next steps. If it is deemed not to be the right test, we will provide you with a written explanation and refund you in full.

What happens once my CarbR Eligibility Form has been accepted?

Your order will be processed and either an appointment arranged for your to attend a test centre or the CarbR test kit will be dispatched to your delivery address.
Where home delivery is specified, your kit arrives with everything you need: CGM sensor, TAP device and blood bottle, tape measure and QR code to download our tracking app.
You will then be asked to complete a Personal Health Profile form, which takes down important information to aid with our reporting process.
Your Lab Test- Follow the instructions to complete the TAP micro blood test for HbA1c. Return the sample to our partnering lab.
Set Up Your CGM & Start Tracking- The CGM sensor is located onto your arm (painlessly and discreetly), synced with our app, and begins recording your glucose levels automatically. Use the app’s food log and activity tracker to capture your habits throughout the week.
Report: after we process your CGM data, a medical expert will examine your health questionnaire, HbA1c and prepare a medical report with recommendations alongside the CGM and lab results.

If you already know your HbA1c from the past six months and have not changed your diet or medication, you may choose the CarbR® Lite option, which omits the need for repeat blood testing.
The test includes a free pre-consultation (to check appropriateness), a technical report with interpretation by an experienced medical doctor, from a chosen medical clinic, with sufficient guidance for the patient and their medical team to take action on the results.

Armed with your CarbR® results, you should not only discover your unique carbohydrate-processing capacity, but also receive practical, science-backed strategies to boost your health and wellness. The report is generated in a way that makes it easy view current profile against prior results, making the CarbR® suitable for repeat testing, following dietary and lifestyle interventions.

Early Indicator of Diabetes

Although still the subject of ongoing research, CarbR® may be useful in detecting early signs of diabetes. By assessing how efficiently your body processes carbohydrates, you will have sufficient knowledge to take proactive steps in maintaining balanced glucose levels—potentially staving off development of type 2 diabetes and other more serious health complications.
Who can benefit from CarbR®?

Patients with established heart conditions including coronary artery disease and heart failure, where glucose dysregulation may be contributing to the underlying cause

Pre-diabetic & health-conscious individuals: gain clarity on your risk factors and learn how to manage potentially unhealthy blood glucose spikes.

Weight management: if you are struggling with weight gain or suspect hidden carbohydrate sensitivities, CarbR® can help pinpoint contributing factors. We can connect you to expert weight management team, including dietitians, nutrional therapists and pychologists at the medical centres if required.

Exercise enthusiasts: maximise your health and exercise routines with personalised guidance and connect to our team of exercise coaches if required.

Patients that have undertaken prior CarbR® and have modified lifestyle and diet so wish to assess the metabolic response.
Current Glucose Profile (CGP®): A graphic snapshot of your day-to-day glucose trends.

Glucotype: A classification of your body’s innate carb-processing ability.

Lifestyle recommendations: Tailored guidance for diet, exercise, and other daily habits.

Medical recommendations: where appropriate, you will receive guidance on whether onward medical referral is recommended (based on NICE guidance) and at what point a referral for diet and lifestyle coaching should be considered.
