Can anyone recommend a full blood count test you can do at home?
when I’ve been checked at the GP they just seem to check k your iron levels but I’m looking for something a bit more comprehensive. I’ve seen some online but not sure if they are worth it or just gimmicky

looking at this one

That's not a full blood count test, OP. I can recommend one as I recently did one from home and can recommend the company.

It's of limited value if you don't get them done by medic who will be able to see the significance of results. I still don't fully understand mine and I've had them done daily, weekly or fortnightly since a cancer diagnosis in 2021 (in remission now). If you feel you need a FBC why not ask a Gp?

A full blood count is a very specific test that looks at cells in your blood, so how many white cells, red cells, platelets, Haemoglobin concentration, sizes of these cells, types of these cells. That’s the test your gp has done by the sounds of it. A full blood count.

Looking at the link you post that is doing various other tests, but not actually including a full blood count. What exactly is your aim for getting tested? You would be much better off seeing your gp or practice nurse and asking them to run various tests related to your concerns than get a kit off the internet that doesn’t even do the full blood count you say you want.
