CarbR®

Ideal for those seeking in-depth insights into their metabolic health, CarbR® empowers you to make informed lifestyle changes with science-backed precision.
 
Our CarbR®  (carbohydrate resiliance test) is a tool for understanding and optimising your metabolic health. It is a medical investigation offered by CQC registered medical practices that an either be arranged by appointment with a participating medical practice or alternatively performed for yourself using our home kit. 
 
As a medical grade test, CarbR® needs to be ordered and reported by a healthcare professional. It consists of a 7 day continuous glucose monitor (CGM), blood test or finger prick HbA1c, mobile phone app to log food, sleep and activity, data processing and technical report summarising your glucose data. This includes your Glucotype (innate ability to process carbohydrate intake) and current glucose profile (CGP®).  The test includes a short medical report and interpretation of the result with  recommendations and access to digital archives featuring blog and podcast material.
 
As well as discovering your glucotype, the HbA1c test will define whether you have pre diabetes or type 2 diabetes based on WHO criteria.  If you already know your HbA1c from a blood test in the last 6 months and have not altered your diet or medcation there may be no need to repeat the HbA1c so CarbR® lite test may be more appropriate test to take.
