Free Blood Sugar (A1c) and Blood Pressure Checks
Walk in. Get checked. Know your numbers.
High blood pressure and elevated blood sugar can develop without obvious symptoms. A simple check can help you better understand your numbers and know when it may be time to follow up with a healthcare provider.
Tekton Research offers free walk-in blood sugar (A1c) and blood pressure checks at select research locations.
What you'll get
A blood sugar (A1c) check
A1c shows your average blood sugar level over the past three months. Your result may point to possible prediabetes or type 2 diabetes.
A blood pressure check
High blood pressure often has no symptoms and can affect your heart, kidneys, and blood vessels over time. Our team will check your blood pressure and explain what the numbers mean.
Help understanding your results
We’ll review your numbers with you and let you know when you should consider following up with a healthcare provider.
