Quick answer
The Diabetes Screening Package costs ₹499 and covers 4 tests (22 parameters). A 4-test check for anyone not yet diagnosed with diabetes: fasting sugar, post-lunch sugar, HbA1c and urine routine. Fast 8 to 10 hours first, with plain water allowed. Reports are usually ready the same day. Book home sample collection or visit any of our 45 centres.
Diabetes and prediabetes can be present for years with no clear symptoms. This 4-test package is for people who have never been diagnosed but have a reason to check, such as being above 35, extra weight, a family history or high sugar in a past pregnancy. It answers one direct question: do I have diabetes or prediabetes, and if not, how close am I?
Each test looks from a different angle. Fasting sugar shows how your body holds sugar overnight. Post-lunch sugar, taken two hours after a meal, shows how it copes with food, and it can rise before the fasting value does. HbA1c gives a three-month average that one careful morning cannot hide. The urine routine can show sugar, protein or infection.
As a rough guide for adults, a fasting sugar of 126 mg/dL or more, a post-meal sugar of 200 mg/dL or more, or an HbA1c of 6.5% or more points towards diabetes. These are typical adult values, and your lab report's range takes precedence. A doctor should review any raised result, and a repeat test is often needed before a diagnosis is made.

How to prepare
- 1 Fast for 8 to 10 hours before the first sample. Plain water is allowed.
- 2 After the fasting sample, eat your usual meal and note the time you start eating.
- 3 Give the post-lunch sample two hours after you started that meal. Ask at booking how the second sample will be arranged for home collection.
- 4 Keep to your normal diet for a few days beforehand, because a sudden sugar-free week can give a misleading result.
- 5 Collect the urine sample in the container provided.

Diabetes Screening Package – FAQs
What is the price of the Diabetes Screening Package?
₹499 at all 45 Live Line centres and for home sample collection.
Which tests are included in the Diabetes Screening Package?
4 tests: Fasting Blood Sugar Test (FBS), Post Lunch Blood Sugar Test (PLBS / PPBS), HbA1c Test (Glycated Haemoglobin), Urine Routine Examination (Complete Urine Test).
Is fasting required for the Diabetes Screening Package?
Yes. Fast 8 to 10 hours first, and plain water is allowed.
How is this different from the Diabetes Care Package?
This package is for finding out whether you have diabetes. The Diabetes Care Package is for people already diagnosed and looks for complications, with kidney, liver, cholesterol and vitamin B12 tests. If a doctor has already told you that you have diabetes, choose Diabetes Care instead.
Why add a post-lunch sample if I am having fasting sugar and HbA1c?
Some people keep a normal fasting value while their sugar climbs sharply after meals. The post-lunch reading shows how your body handles a real meal, so it can reveal a problem that the morning sample misses. It also helps a doctor make sense of a borderline HbA1c.
What does a borderline or prediabetes result mean?
It means your sugar is above the normal range but not at the level seen in diabetes. It is not a diagnosis of diabetes, and many people bring it back down with food choices, activity and weight loss. See a doctor, who may ask you to retest in a few months.
How often should I repeat this screening?
Once a year is a sensible rhythm for adults above 35 or anyone with a risk factor such as family history or extra weight. If your result is borderline, your doctor may ask for a recheck sooner. Younger adults at low risk can test less often.
