Good to know

Benefits and limitations of blood testing

A blood test offers valuable insight into your health, but it also has limitations. We set out both honestly, so you can make a well-considered choice.

Benefits

Early signals: deviations can become visible before you notice symptoms.
A complete picture in one draw: key values clearly together.
Interpreted by a doctor: you get context with your results, not just numbers.
Track your health over time: repeat easily and see changes.
Accessible: no referral needed, a draw at 800+ locations.

Points to consider

An abnormal value does not always mean something is wrong; sometimes it is normal for you or a recheck is needed.
A normal result does not rule out every condition.
Some findings may lead to unnecessary worry or follow-up testing.
A blood test is a snapshot in time and does not replace a medical diagnosis.
Do you have symptoms or doubts? Always discuss these with a doctor.

We value honest information. For independent information on the benefits and limitations of health tests, we are glad to refer you to the Dutch RIVM, pros and cons of health tests.

Veelgestelde vragen

Alles wat u wilt weten

Do I need to fast?

Yes, for the glucose measurement you must fast for 8 hours. HbA1c can be measured regardless of eating, but since everything is taken in a single blood draw, we recommend fasting.

What is the difference between glucose and HbA1c?

Glucose measures your current blood sugar at the time of the draw. HbA1c gives an average over the past 2 to 3 months, independent of what you ate that day.

What if I take diabetes medication?

With diabetes medication (insulin, metformin and the like), glucose and HbA1c may be lower than without treatment. Please let us know.

What if I want more specific markers?

Through Bloodworks Select you can add markers such as insulin or C-peptide.

How quickly do I receive my results?

Typically within 2 business days of blood draw.
