You can carry out a test at home with a home test kit, but the results will not be as accurate as the test done in a laboratory even though it seems more convenient. We have different locations, so you can look through them and find a location close to you for a more comprehensive and accurate test result.
Each test result is tagged with a particular colour, each meaning different things, with red being too far from the normal range, amber being just a little off the normal range, and green being the acceptable range for your sex and age.
Test results marked with either amber or red will come with recommendations on the next line of action. This may be lifestyle changes, close monitoring, or a visit to the clinic for further testing.
