Cholesterol and Glucose Monitoring
Cholesterol and blood glucose levels serve as important indicators of long-term health status. Elevated cholesterol is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. Raised blood glucose may indicate pre-diabetes or diabetes. These conditions often contribute to illness and workplace absenteeism, yet often remain undetected in the absence of routine screening.
At Healthscreen UK, we provide comprehensive cholesterol and glucose monitoring to help employers safeguard their workforce. Our tests are quick, accurate, and designed to identify risks early, giving employees the knowledge and support they need to make positive changes. By including these checks in your occupational health programme, you are investing in healthier, more productive employees and a stronger, safer business.
Why Monitor Cholesterol and Glucose?
High cholesterol and elevated blood glucose often remain asymptomatic in early stages, resulting in undiagnosed cases. Without intervention, these conditions may progress to serious complications, including:
- Cardiovascular disease – including heart attacks and strokes.
- Type 2 diabetes – and related complications such as nerve damage and kidney problems.
- Obesity-related illnesses – placing additional strain on the body and workplace attendance.
Regular monitoring of cholesterol and glucose levels provides several significant benefits:
- Early Intervention: Facilitate identification of health risks prior to the development of severe complications.
- Health Promotion: Provide evidence-based guidance on nutrition, physical activity, and stress management to support healthier lifestyle choices.
- Reduced Absenteeism: Decrease the incidence of long-term sickness and workplace absence.
- Enhanced Productivity: Improved employee health is associated with increased engagement and motivation.
- Regulatory Compliance: Fulfil workplace health and safety obligations through proactive health monitoring.
