Of Fredrik Lönnqvist - 28 September 2020

Do you have diabetes? A simple diabetes test gives you a quick answer. With more than 99% reliability, you get clear information. The urine test is performed at home in peace and quiet. Our diabetes test is performed using a test strip and urine. It is a simple and highly reliable testing procedure that can ultimately save lives.

Diabetes is a hormonal disease that means the body can no longer absorb and store sugar in a balanced way, which therefore causes high blood sugar levels. Today, many people are affected by diabetes, both children and adults. It is estimated that there may be more than half a million people in Sweden who suffer from the disease. There is even talk of an epidemic when it comes to type 2 diabetes which is believed to be caused by a combination of a sedentary lifestyle and food that contains a lot of sugar and little nutrition. Regardless of why you have developed diabetes you can use a diabetes test at home to find out in a short time whether it really is this common disease. There are symptoms that may be caused by other factors, which can first be clarified by a negative result. Our diabetes test is very reliable and also easy to perform. You order it directly online and it is delivered to your home with fast shipping.

Common symptoms of diabetes

Anyone can develop diabetes, some may have it in the family, while others develop it through their lifestyle. If your parents have diabetes or if your lifestyle consists of a poor diet combined with low physical activity, you may need to test for diabetes regularly. The fact is that many people have a prediabetes without any particular symptoms.
But you may also be experiencing symptoms of diabetes, in which case you should immediately check whether your suspicions are correct. Common symptoms include:

  • Increased thirst
  • Frequent urination
  • Feeling very hungry
  • Rapid weight loss
  • Wounds that do not heal as usual
  • A feeling of fatigue
  • Blurred or impaired vision

Get a quick answer with a diabetes test

When you do not feel well and suspect diabetes, you want a quick answer. Diabetes can show up as a high blood sugar level, which can be measured with a simple test performed at home. A home diabetes test takes only a few minutes to perform and it is enough to test urine, so there is no need to prick yourself to take blood. If you are in a risk group for this disease, it may be useful to perform this type of self-test regularly. This is especially relevant if you are making lifestyle changes intended to lower blood sugar and want to check that this is actually happening.

How to test for diabetes at home

With Quicktest diabetes test it is easy to find out how your blood sugar is doing. Urinate into a cup and then dip a test strip into it. The strip gives you information about the glucose level and the level of ketones in the urine, which provides a good indication of whether there is reason to suspect diabetes. The test strip only needs to be dipped for a few seconds, then you wait up to a minute to read the result. This is easy because you are given a color scale for comparison. Just remember to read the instructions carefully before you begin so you know what to expect and how to perform each step correctly.

What should you do after a positive result?

You can lower glucose levels by eating appropriately and being physically active, but if you get a positive result with our diabetes test, it is important to see a doctor. A high sugar level does not necessarily mean that you have diabetes, but it may be one cause. It is therefore important to seek medical care for help with treatment because diabetes can lead to other medical conditions. If you have the symptoms described above but receive a negative result, you should still seek medical care to find out why you do not feel well.
