Blood Glucose Test
A quick and convenient way to check your blood sugar levels.
Your blood glucose (sugar) level is a key indicator of how your body processes energy. It can be affected by what you eat, how active you are, and how well your body produces or uses insulin. Regular checks can help you understand your risk of developing diabetes or support you in managing an existing condition.
At McCauley Pharmacy, we offer a simple finger-prick blood glucose test, with results available in just a few minutes. The check is carried out by a pharmacy colleague in our private consultation room.
You’ll receive a record of your result to take away, along with any advice or next steps based on the outcome.
Price: €10
Availability: Walk-in or by appointment — available in all McCauley Pharmacies
