Hurt my knee Friday night and got an MRI appointment Sunday evening (booked Sunday afternoon). Waited about 2 minutes and was done in just over 30 minutes. The team was amazing, friendly and efficient.

Dr. Osama's team was gentle and amazing. After a bad experience elsewhere, my pelvic exam here was much more professional. Great report and very precise.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Diabetes Testing in Dubai.
HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin) measures the percentage of hemoglobin in your red blood cells that has glucose attached to it, reflecting your average blood sugar levels over the past two to three months. It is considered the gold standard for diabetes diagnosis and monitoring because it provides a longer-term view than a single glucose measurement.
No, fasting requirements vary by test type. HbA1c does not require fasting and can be done at any time of day, making it very convenient.
Fasting glucose measures your blood sugar concentration at a single point in time after an overnight fast, providing a snapshot of your current glucose level. HbA1c reflects your average blood sugar over the preceding two to three months.
Prediabetes is a metabolic state where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be classified as type 2 diabetes. It is diagnosed when fasting glucose is between 100 and 125 mg/dL, HbA1c is between 5.7 and 6.4 percent, or OGTT two-hour glucose is between 140 and 199 mg/dL.
Diabetes testing frequency depends on your risk profile and current status. For adults over 45 with normal results, a blood sugar test in Dubai every three years is recommended. If you have risk factors, your glucose test in Dubai may need to be repeated annually.
Diabetes testing at DCDC starts from AED 99. The cost depends on the test, and most insurance covers diabetes screening as preventive care with a physician referral.
Walk in to the DCDC laboratory in Dubai Healthcare City or book ahead. An HbA1c test needs no fasting, while fasting glucose and most other diabetes tests need 8 to 12 hours of fasting, so book an early morning slot. Most results are ready within 24 hours.
