Detect Colon Cancer Early: Take Control of Your Health

Understanding Colon Cancer

Colon cancer is the third leading cause of cancer deaths in the US. By getting screened, you have the power to significantly reduce the odds of colon cancer impacting you and your family.

You Have the Power to Prevent Colon Cancer

When colon cancer is found and removed before spreading, the chance of long-term remission is fantastic. Around 90% of patients survive beyond 5 years! If the cancer has spread outside the colon, the chance of living beyond 5 years drops to only about 15%.

What Can You Do to Prevent Colon Cancer?

Colon cancer can take as long as 10 to 15 years to develop, giving you plenty of time to act. Discussing a screening plan with your doctor that's tailored to your needs is vital. It could save your life.

Did You Know

Routine screening is key to preventing colon cancer deaths

An estimated 60% of colon cancer deaths are preventable if everyone follows screening guidelines.

Colon cancer screening is recommended for everyone between the ages of 45 and 75—even if you don’t have symptoms.

People with early colon cancer may not have any symptoms. This is why routine screening is so important.

Screening tests can detect early cancer or precancerous changes long before these cause symptoms and while they are still easy to treat. Increased screening resulted in a 53% drop in colon cancer deaths from 1980 to 2017.

HbA1c Test

What is an HbA1c Test?

The HbA1c test, also known as the glycated hemoglobin test or A1c test, is a blood test that provides an overview of your average blood sugar levels over the past two to three months. This valuable measure helps healthcare professionals assess how well diabetes is being managed or determine your risk for developing diabetes.

Why is it Important?

Long-Term Blood Sugar Control

The HbA1c test is crucial for understanding your long-term blood sugar control. Unlike daily blood glucose readings that vary throughout the day, HbA1c gives a more comprehensive picture.

Diabetes Management

For those already diagnosed with diabetes, the HbA1c test helps monitor how effective your treatment plan is and if adjustments are needed to maintain healthy blood sugar levels.

Early Detection

The HbA1c test can identify prediabetes or undiagnosed diabetes early. This can help you make lifestyle changes or start treatment before complications arise.

Risk Reduction

By managing blood sugar levels effectively, individuals can reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications such as heart disease, kidney damage, and nerve damage.

How Does the HbA1c Test Work?

The test measures the percentage of hemoglobin in your blood that has glucose attached to it. Since red blood cells typically live for about three months, the test provides an average blood sugar level during this timeframe.

Who Should Take the Test?

Individuals with diabetes who need regular monitoring

Those with a family history of diabetes or who are overweight

Anyone over 45 years of age. Or those under 45 with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or other risk factors

Get Tested with Confidence

At SNT Biotech, we are committed to providing convenient and accurate at-home screening solutions. Our HbA1c test kit offers a simple, reliable way to monitor your health and take control of your future. Order today to begin your journey toward better diabetes management.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an HbA1c test, and how does it differ from daily blood glucose tests?

The HbA1c test measures your average blood sugar level over the past two to three months. It reflects the percentage of hemoglobin in your blood that has glucose attached to it. Unlike daily blood glucose tests, which show a snapshot of your blood sugar level at a specific moment, HbA1c provides a more comprehensive view of your long-term blood sugar control.

Why should I use an at-home HbA1c test instead of visiting a clinic?

At-home tests provide convenience and privacy. They allow you to monitor your health from the comfort of your home without scheduling clinic appointments or taking time off work. They're especially useful for those who need to regularly track their blood sugar but prefer not to go to a clinic for each test.

How accurate is an at-home HbA1c test?

Our at-home HbA1c test uses advanced laboratory technology to ensure accuracy and reliability. Once you send your sample to the lab, certified professionals analyze it. They provide results comparable to those you would receive from a clinic.

How do I collect a blood sample at home?

Our test kit includes everything you need for easy blood collection. This include a lancet, a collection card, and step-by-step instructions. The process involves a small finger prick to collect a few drops of blood. Once collected, you'll securely mail your sample to our lab for analysis.

How long does it take to receive my results?

After your sample reaches our lab, it typically takes a few days to process. You'll receive an email notification once your results are ready, along with guidance on how to interpret them and what steps to take next.

How frequently should I check my HbA1c levels?

You should check your HbA1c levels at least once per year.

Can this test diagnose diabetes or prediabetes?

While an HbA1c test can indicate elevated blood sugar levels associated with diabetes or prediabetes, it should not be used as the sole diagnostic tool. If your results suggest abnormal blood sugar levels, consult your healthcare provider for further testing and diagnosis.

Do I need to fast before taking the test?

No, fasting is not required for the HbA1c test. You can take the test at any time of day, regardless of when you last ate.

What should I do if my results are abnormal?

If your results indicate high HbA1c levels, it's essential to consult with your healthcare provider. They can provide guidance on lifestyle changes, treatment plans, or further testing to help manage your blood sugar levels effectively.

Pricing?

Through your health plan benefits, members enrolled are eligible for a free annual HbA1c Test screening.

Kidney Health Evaluation Test (KED)

Check Your Kidney Health - Right From Home

Measure your kidney health from the comfort of home. Our kit lets you test your kidney’s ability to filter and remove waste — no clinic visit required.

Why this test matters:

Your kidneys play an important role in keeping you healthy. They filter waste and extra fluid from your blood. Many people with early kidney problems don’t have any symptoms - that’s why screening is so important. This test helps check how your kidneys are working, especially if you have:
  1. Diabetes or high blood pressure
  2. Family history of kidney disease
  3. Are age 50 or older

What the Test Measures

GFR (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate)

This calculation tells how well your kidneys are filtering blood. A lower eGFR may indicate reduced kidney function.

Urine Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio (UACR)

A small amount of the protein albumin in your urine can be an early sign of kidney damage.

Creatinine

A waste product in your blood that your kidneys should filter - elevated levels may signal impaired function. Together, these markers give you and your provider actionable insights into your kidney health - long before symptoms appear.

What the Test Checks

Your kit includes everything you need to collect a small blood and urine sample. The lab will measure:

eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate): how well your kidneys filter waste

UACR (urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio): checks for protein in your urine, an early sign of kidney damage

Together, these results help you and your doctor better understand your kidney health.

What To Expect

Your kit includes everything you need to collect a small blood and urine sample. The lab will measure:

The test is free — there’s no cost to you.
The kit is easy to use and comes with simple instructions.

Results are available within a few days after the lab receives your sample.

Your personal information and results are completely confidential.

Sample Collection Instructions

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I take this kidney health test?

Even when your kidneys are working, you might not feel any symptoms. This simple test checks how well your kidneys are filtering waste and whether there are early signs of damage. Early screening is especially helpful if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of kidney disease.

What do you measure in the test

The kit checks two key markers:

  • >eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate): an estimate of how well your kidneys are filtering your blood.
  • >UACR (urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio): a measure of protein in your urine, which can be an early sign of kidney damage.
    These markers help you and your provider understand kidney health early.
How do I complete the test at home?

It’s simple: you’ll register your kit, collect a small blood sample (via finger-prick) and a urine sample in the kit, mail the samples back in the prepaid envelope, and then we process them at a certified lab. Results will be sent securely and shared with your health plan or provider as agreed.

What happens if my results show a concern?

If your results indicate an abnormal finding — your primary care physician will be notified. If you do not have a physician on record, SNT Biotech physician will reach out to you.

How often should I do this test?

If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, a family history of kidney disease, or other risk factors, annual testing is recommended. Your provider may advise a different schedule based on your personal health.

Is my information and test result private?

Yes. We follow strict privacy and security protocols. Your health information is kept confidential in accordance with HIPAA and all applicable regulations. Your test result is only shared with you, your primary care provider and your health plan

Pricing?

Through your health plan benefits, members enrolled are eligible for a free annual KED Test screening

How long does it take to receive results?

You can typically expect to receive your results within one to two weeks after mailing your sample
