HbA1c — Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most common causes
Vitamin B12 — Deficiency is a common, treatable cause of nerve symptoms
What normal doesn't rule out
the underlying cause with certainty in every case — some nerve conditions need further specialist workup (MRI, additional blood panels) beyond this screen.
Not included
MRI spine/brain (if indicated, via neurologist referral)
Full diabetic complication panel (see F16)
Not the right fit if
you have sudden-onset weakness or paralysis — that needs emergency evaluation (possible stroke), not a scheduled screening visit.
Preparation
Preparation: Wear comfortable clothing allowing access to the limbs being tested. NCS/EMG involves mild electrical stimulation — brief discomfort, no lasting effects. || Collection & eligibility: Home service coversblood collection only. NCS/EMG requires a centre visit and a neurologist. Appointment-based — call ahead.
Result pathway
Normal
Discuss symptom monitoring with your physician
Borderline
Discuss with your neurologist — may need further workup
Abnormal
Refer to a neurologist for management
Urgent
Truscan's clinical team follows up per internal escalation protocol
Clinically relevant
Add-ons matched to this package — not “frequently bought”.
Strongly relevant: F16 Diabetes & Hypertension Health Review — if diabetic, this overlaps with F16's podiatry/nerve module
Sometimes relevant: F15 Nerve & Circulation Screen — if foot-specific symptoms (numbness, circulation concerns) are the primary complaint
If you want more coverage
F16 (Diabetes & Hypertension Health Review) if you're diabetic — this screen's nerve component overlaps with F16's podiatry module.
EMG is neurologist-administered as part of this test itself — the specialist reviewing your test can discuss initial findings directly. A fuller report review consult is available on request, at additional cost.
