Blood Sugar & Diabetes Risk Awareness

Tests for the diagnosis and monitoring of diabetes are available from your doctor. If you clinically need a blood glucose meter, your NHS doctor or diabetes nurse can provide you with one free of charge. The VivaChek Ino blood glucose test strips are also available free of charge for diabetics on an NHS prescription. Always speak with your doctor if you are concerned about your symptoms.

Let's make self-testing better

Our tests are based on the same principles used by hospital labs, and provide reliable, meaningful results, but self-testing is not meant to replace established NHS healthcare pathways. Always consider what a positive or negative result will mean to you before testing, and be aware of the limitations of the test you are using.
