Quick answer
The Diabetes Care Package costs ₹2,199 and covers 8 tests (42 parameters). An 8-test follow-up for people who already have diabetes. Fast 10 to 12 hours first, with plain water allowed. Reports are usually ready within 24 hours. Book home sample collection or visit any of our 45 centres.
Once diabetes is diagnosed, the question changes. It is no longer whether you have it, but whether it is under control and whether it has started to harm anything. This 8-test package is for adults already living with diabetes, on tablets or insulin, who need the periodic review most doctors ask for.
HbA1c is the main measure of control over the past three months. Urine microalbumin is the test most people miss. It can find tiny amounts of protein leaking through the kidney filters, often before creatinine rises, at a stage when treatment may still slow the damage. Creatinine and the urine routine add to that view. The lipid profile matters because diabetes raises heart risk, and the liver test helps because fatty liver is common in people with diabetes.
Vitamin B12 is included because long-term metformin can lower it, and low B12 can cause numbness that is easily mistaken for diabetic nerve damage. Eye and foot checks are separate and just as important, so keep those going with your doctor. Do not change your diabetes medicine because of a report alone.

How to prepare
- 1 Fast for 10 to 12 hours with plain water allowed. Book the earliest slot you can.
- 2 Ask your doctor in advance how to take your tablets or insulin during the fast. Do not change the dose on your own.
- 3 Carry your morning medicine and a snack for right after the sample.
- 4 If you feel shaky, sweaty or confused while fasting, treat it as low sugar: take sugar or juice at once and rebook the test.
- 5 Avoid heavy exercise the day before, as it can raise microalbumin, and collect a first-morning urine sample.

Diabetes Care Package – FAQs
What is the price of the Diabetes Care Package?
₹2,199 at all 45 Live Line centres and for home sample collection.
Which tests are included in the Diabetes Care Package?
8 tests: HbA1c Test (Glycated Haemoglobin), Fasting Blood Sugar Test (FBS), Urine Microalbumin Test, Serum Creatinine Test, Urine Routine Examination (Complete Urine Test), Lipid Profile Test, Liver Function Test (LFT), Vitamin B12 Test (Cyanocobalamin).
Is fasting required for the Diabetes Care Package?
Yes. Fast 10 to 12 hours first, and plain water is allowed.
How is this different from the Diabetes Screening Package?
The Diabetes Screening Package tells someone undiagnosed whether they have high sugar. This package assumes you already know. It leaves out the post-lunch sample and instead looks at the kidneys, cholesterol, liver and vitamin B12, the areas where diabetes causes trouble over time.
How often should I repeat this package?
You may not need all of it each time. Doctors commonly ask for HbA1c every three to six months, with kidney, cholesterol and vitamin B12 checks about once a year. Your doctor will set the timing based on how stable your diabetes is.
What HbA1c should I aim for?
Many adults with diabetes aim for below about 7%, but the right target depends on your age, other illnesses and your risk of low sugar. Ask your doctor to set yours. The range printed on a report often shows non-diabetic values, so being above it is common.
My vitamin B12 is low. Should I stop metformin?
No. Do not stop metformin or any diabetes medicine on your own. Low B12 is usually managed by adding a supplement or injection, and metformin often continues. Show the report to your doctor, who will decide what to do, particularly if you have numbness or tingling.
