Comprehensive blood test to assess insulin resistance and its associated health risks.

Additional Information

Insulin resistance occurs when cells don't respond effectively to insulin, leading to high blood sugar. This test measures fasting insulin, fasting glucose, and the HOMA-IR score to assess insulin resistance. Early identification allows for lifestyle changes to prevent progression to diabetes. The test also helps understand the impact of insulin resistance on lipids (triglycerides, LDL, HDL cholesterol), blood clots, inflammation, and blood pressure. It's crucial for managing weight, preventing diabetes, and reducing cardiovascular risks.

Biomarkers Tested (3)

Fasting Insulin (µU/mL)

Fasting glucose (mmol/L)

HOMA-IR Score
Calculated score assessing insulin resistance based on fasting glucose and insulin levels.
