Track your progress on GLP-1
A focused 3-marker progress panel for when you are on GLP-1 therapy: blood sugar, thyroid and cholesterol, so you and your prescriber can see how things are tracking. One quick fasted visit.
Best as a morning, fasted appointment.

Book a visitWhat does the panel measure?
Three progress markers to track while you are on GLP-1 therapy: how your blood sugar, thyroid and cholesterol are responding. From one fasted blood draw, ready to share with your prescriber.
Blood sugar control
HbA1c. Your average blood sugar over the past few months, the key measure of how therapy is working.
Cholesterol
Lipogram. Your full cholesterol breakdown, to track heart-health changes on therapy.
Thyroid
TSH. A thyroid check, since thyroid and metabolism work closely together.

What people say
Friendly and competent staff. Both at reception and the nurse. A much simpler process than going through doctors. Thank you ladies.
The staff at reception as well as the nurses are friendly and professional. I've also always received results timeously. I would give 10 stars if I could.
Highly highly highly recommend. The experience was painless and the practice was inviting and well kept. The report was extremely detailed and informative and I would have this as top of my list for preventive care.
Amazing experience, highly professional staff. Very reasonable prices. Highly recommend.
I cannot recommend Juliette and her team enough, friendly and kind from the get go. Bloods were drawn with minimal discomfort and the labs came back quickly.
Excellent experience at Epicentre. The staff were professional, kind, and took time to explain everything clearly. The facility was clean, booking was easy, and I did not feel rushed.
What this does not do
This is a focused progress panel to support care with your prescriber. It is not medical advice about GLP-1 therapy, and it does not replace your prescriber's assessment.
- How your therapy is managed, including any changes, is a decision for you and your prescriber.
- Results are read alongside your history and your baseline, not in isolation.
- For a wider check, the Start Smart Panel covers 12 markers; this panel is a focused progress view.
- Results are meant to inform a discussion with a registered practitioner.
